Midtown delivery business among nation's fastest growing private companies

Zifty.com recognized by Inc. Magazine's Top 5000 list

Zifty.com, a Midtown-based restaurant delivery company, has been named to Inc. Magazine's Top 5000: America’s Fasting Growing Private Companies list for 2012.

Companies must have a minimum of $2 million in annual revenue to be included on the list, which tracks percentage growth over a three year period. Zifty.com came in at No. 3705, one of 186 metro Atlanta companies on the list, including two in the top six. See the list of metro Atlanta companies here.

“We are honored to be included in this list, particularly given that our growth occurred during a very difficult economy,” Jennifer Pete’, Zifty.com’s co-owner and vice-president, said in a news release. “Our success is really a testament to organic growth, buy-in and support from the local restaurant community, the quality of our employees and our dedication to exceptional customer experience.”
