The company ranked 47th among the fastest growing companies in Missouri, and ranked 458th nationally among companies in the business products and services category, which had the greatest number of companies on this year's Inc. 5000 list.

Mike Merrick, CEO of Fish Window Cleaning Services, said, "This is an acknowledgement of the hard work of our headquarters staff, as well as, the outstanding entrepreneurial efforts of the 177 franchisees who continuously expand our business in the 239 markets we service nationally."

Companies were selected for the 2010 Inc. 5000 list, based on their revenue growth from 2006 through 2009.  Only privately-held, for-profit companies based in the U.S. were eligible. Despite the fact that most of the this year's measuring period took place during the latest recession, aggregate revenue among the companies on the list actually increased to $321.6 billion, up more than 50 percent from last year. The effects of the recession are seen, however, in the median three-year growth rate, which dropped to 96 percent from last year's 126 percent.

Fish Window Cleaning® is the largest window cleaning company in the country.  The organization ranked 182nd on Entrepreneur Magazine's 2010 Franchise 500, 19th for financial health on the AllBusiness AllStar Franchise 300, and was named to Franchise Business Review's 2010 Franchisee Satisfaction Awards list, where it was ranked 43rd among the Top 50 Large Systems franchise organizations.
