ARCOS, Inc. places number 14 in the Columbus, Ohio "Fast 50"

ARCOS, Inc. was ranked number 14 on Central Ohio’s Fast 50 list. The Fast 50 award recognizes Central Ohio’s emerging companies across all industries for their growth and performance over the past three years.

Honorees for the 12th Annual Fast 50 were chosen from nominations received by Columbus Business First magazine. In-depth company financial information and analysis were used to compile the rankings.

According to Columbus Business First President and Publisher, Don DePerro, "Our Fast 50 honorees represent the backbone of our economy -- fast moving, nimble companies that are
entrepreneurial and quick to market. They are creating seven out of every ten new jobs today, and I wouldn't want to think about where our economy would be without them."

The ARCOS, Inc. team received their award with the other honorees at the October 18th, 2007 Fast 50 luncheon held in downtown Columbus. Ohio’s Lieutenant Governor Lee Fisher provided the keynote address.

ARCOS, Inc. president and CEO, Mitchell McLeod, attributes the honor as a direct result of clients sharing their best practices of product direction and innovation to help ARCOS, Inc. improve and grow as a business.

"This collaboration creates a true win-win proposition," McLeod said.

At the core of ARCOS Inc.'s values is the idea that growth should not be at the expense of its clients.

"We need to value those who have helped us achieve our goals. We have held true to that credo and will continue to operate by that belief," McLeod said.
