Leading Iced Tea Franchise Ranks No. 59 on Inc. Magazine’s List of the Southwest Region’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies

FORT WORTH, Texas, March 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — HTeaO, America’s largest iced tea franchise, ranked No. 59 on Inc. magazine’s fourth annual Inc. 5000 Regionals Southwest list, the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing private companies based in Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas. Born of the annual Inc. 5000 franchise, this regional list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the Southwest economy’s most dynamic segment–its independent small businesses.

The Inc. Regionals recognizes additional up-and-coming fast-growth companies in key regions across the country. HTeaO was one of 166 companies recognized for its two-year revenue growth from 2019 to 2021 and southwest expansion. HTeaO experienced a Two-Year Revenue Growth of 240 Percent.

“Growing regionally has always been our strategy to test, perfect, and enhance our business model as we bring it to more communities across the United States,” said Andrew Hawes, Chief Development Officer of HTeaO. “We’re honored that our expansion has been recognized by Inc. Magazine for our efforts expanding across the southwest region.”

The companies on this list show a remarkable rate of growth across all industries in the Southwest region. Between 2019 and 2021, these 166 private companies had an average growth rate of 557 percent and, in 2021 alone, they added 16,116 jobs and nearly $5.5 billion to the Southwest region’s economy. Companies based in the Austin, Scottsdale and Fort Worth areas had the highest growth rates 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. These are the companies you’ll be hearing about for years to come,” says Scott Omelianuk, editor-in-chief of Inc. magazine.

The 2023 Inc. 5000 Regionals are ranked according to percentage revenue growth when comparing 2019 and 2021. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2019. They had to be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2021. (Since then, a number of companies on the list have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2019 is $100,000; the minimum for 2021 is $1 million. As always, Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons.
