For the Second Consecutive Year, Benchmark Hospitality
is Named to Inc. 500/5000 Fastest Growing Companies List
The Woodlands (Houston), Texas, October 2009 … Benchmark
Hospitality International has announced that for the second
consecutive year, Inc. Magazine has named the leading
hospitality management company to the “Inc. 500/5000” list
of fastest growing privately-owned companies in America. The
list represents the most comprehensive look at one of
the most important segments of the US economy -- America’s
independent-minded entrepreneurs. Inc. Magazine’s
2009 listing for fastest growing companies appeared in
the print and online editions in August.
"Considering the present worldwide economic conditions,” said
Burt Cabañas, founder, chairman and CEO of Benchmark
Hospitality International, “we are extremely pleased
that through the efforts of everyone in our company, we
have maintained our status on the Inc. 5000 list.”
Inc. 5000 project manager Jim Melloan said, “Savvy
trend spotters and those who invest in private companies
know that the Inc. 5000 list is the best place to find
out about young companies that are achieving success through
a wide variety of unprecedented business models, as well
as older private companies that are still expanding at
an impressive rate.”
Inc. Magazine approached Benchmark Hospitality International earlier in the year and invited the company to once again
submit an application for consideration to be included
on the prestigious Inc. 500/5000 list. Benchmark
subsequently learned of the company’s acceptance
for the second consecutive year on the national “Inc.
500/5000 Fastest Growing Companies List.”
Since debuting in 1991 with 100 of the fastest-growing
private US companies, then expanding the following year
to the Inc. 500 and again in 2007 to the Inc. 5000, the
list has served as evidence of the significant accomplishments
of entrepreneurial companies. As an Inc. 5000 honoree,
Benchmark Hospitality International shares a prestigious
position with some of the most successful companies in
America.
