Let me just say, “WOW!”
As someone who just joined GMCR’s Specialty Coffee Business Unit team this summer, I’m ecstatic to hear that GMCR made Forbes’ list of America’s Best Small Companies of 2009, placing in the Top 10 at number 5! This is our third consecutive year on the list, jumping from #55 in 2008, and I couldn’t be more thrilled.
So, I’m going to say it again: “WOW!” Take this quote from Forbes, for example:
“[GMCR’s] gourmet java, sold through coffee shops and grocers, still pours in a recession.”
Love it. I even love the pun. It’s brew-ti-ful, if I may be so (extra) bold (K-Cup).
For a look at the full list, check it out here. And do say, “Hello,” when scrolling past ranking number 5…
