BOCA RATON, Fla., March 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Inc. magazine today revealed that springbig is No. 9 on its third annual Inc. 5000 Regionals Southeast list, the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing private companies based in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, and Tennessee. Born of the annual Inc. 5000 franchise, this regional list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the Southeast region economy's most dynamic segment–its independent small businesses.
"Over the past two years, springbig has grown in tandem with the wider cannabis industry, and this achievement exemplifies our entire team's commitment to enhancing cannabis retail experiences across North America," said Jeffrey Harris, CEO of springbig. "We are proud to be recognized as one of the fastest-growing companies in the Southeast for a second consecutive year, and it is a privilege to be a member of this dynamic business community."
The companies on this list show a remarkable rate of growth across all industries in the Southeast region. Between 2018 and 2020, these 173 private companies had an average growth rate of 147% percent and, in 2020 alone, they added 27,794 jobs and nearly $4.9 billion to the Southeast region's economy. Companies based in the Miami, Florida, Fairhope, Alabama, and Covington, Louisiana, areas had the highest growth rate overall.
"This year's Inc. 5000 Regional winners represent one of the most exceptional and exciting lists of America's off-the-charts growth companies. They're disrupters and job creators, and all delivered an outsize impact on the economy. Remember their names and follow their lead.
