BURLINGAME, Calif. – Inc. magazine announced today that Junk King has been named to its annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. This is the first year the brand has been ranked on the list.

“What an exciting few weeks it has been for us – we recently hit 1 million jobs, 400 trucks on the road and 100 franchise locations in the United States. Now, we have another achievement to celebrate” said Michael Andreacchi, CEO of Junk King. “Being included on this list alongside leading brands makes me extremely proud of what Junk King has been able to achieve in the past 15 years. We have become who we are and will only continue to grow stronger because of the team of people we’ve built around us.”

Companies that have placed on the 2020 Inc. 5000 list have seen monumental growth numbers throughout the year. The list shows the groundbreaking expansion for the companies and the strides they’ve made to improve upon previous year’s development.

The Inc. 5000’s aggregate revenue was $209 billion in 2019, accounting for over 1 million jobs over the past three years.

 “The companies on this year’s Inc. 5000 come from nearly every realm of business,” says Inc. editor-in-chief Scott Omelianuk. “From health and software to media and hospitality, the 2020 list proves that no matter the sector, incredible growth is based on the foundations of tenacity and opportunism.”
