Parker’s Kitchen – a nationally acclaimed convenience store company and food service leader headquartered in Savannah, Ga. – was included on the highly competitive Inc. 5000 list of the fastest growing private companies in America for the eighth time earlier today. The Inc. 5000 list recognizes top privately owned companies in the U.S., including Microsoft, Patagonia, Facebook and Chobani.

To earn a spot on the annual Inc. 5000 list, companies were required to demonstrate significant revenue and human resources growth between 2021 and 2024. The winners will be recognized in the Fall 2025 issue of Inc. magazine and at the Inc. 5000 Conference and Gala on Oct. 22-24 in Phoenix.

“Businesses have faced unprecedented times—economic uncertainty, volatility and rapid innovation,” Inc. Editor-in-Chief Mike Hofman told the winners in a special email message. “But the overarching theme among this year’s Inc. 5000 honorees is clear: resilience.”

Parker’s Kitchen currently operates 103 stores across Georgia and South Carolina and is currently in the middle of an ambitious expansion. The company plans to open 100 new stores across the Southeast, from Myrtle Beach, S.C. to Jacksonville, Fla.

“Our hard-working team fuels the company growth that has made it possible for Parker’s Kitchen to be included on the Inc. 5000 list eight times,” said Parker’s Kitchen CEO Brandon Hofmann. “They are truly the secret to our success. I’m extremely grateful for our team’s commitment to Parker’s Kitchen customers and to making our company the best place to work as well as the best place to shop.”

Parker’s Kitchen employs nearly 1,800 team members and completes more than a million transactions every week at stores throughout Georgia and South Carolina. The company was honored as a USA TODAY Top Workplace, named the Convenience Store Chain of the Year by Convenience Store Decisions, recognized by Food and Wine as one of America’s Best Convenience Stores and honored by Convenience Store News as the Convenience Foodservice Leader of the Year.

Always on the cutting edge, Parker’s Kitchen uses predictive analytics and AI to determine the most seamless, frictionless and time-efficient ways to complete transactions and to prepare the freshest possible food to meet growing customer demand. The company is also a pioneer in GPS-enabled mobile app technology, customer loyalty programs and high-quality foodservice.  

Since its founding in 1976, Parker’s Kitchen has become a nationally acclaimed company that is one of America’s most successful convenience store chains.  

Known for its commitment to charitable giving, Parker’s Kitchen stands apart as one of the most generous companies in the convenience store industry and in the Southeast. Over the past eight years, the company has donated more than $30 million to support education, expand access to healthcare, fight childhood hunger and help injured local veterans.
