BOCA RATON, Fla. – Inc. magazine today revealed that springbig is No. 3 on its second annual Inc. 5000 Regionals: Florida list, the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing Florida-based private companies. Born of the annual Inc. 5000 franchise, this regional list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the Florida economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent small businesses.

“At the heart of springbig’s business is fostering loyalty and genuine connections in the cannabis retail space, and we credit our tremendous growth over the past two years to our dispensary and brand partners throughout the country who have placed their trust in us to scale their businesses,” said Jeffrey Harris, CEO of springbig. “Earning a top place on this list as a cannabis business is a testament to the robust opportunities in this industry and we are honored to be recognized among so many leaders in the Florida business community.”
