Business : Clickstop, Inc. Receives Prestigious Award from Inc. Magazine

The eCommerce company's first appearance on list is at number 1,122.

Inc. Magazine has released its' annual list of the 5000 Fastest-Growing Private Companies in America. Five year-old Clickstop, Inc. emerges on the prestigious list as number 1,122, ranking in the top 25% of the companies being honored.

"We're very pleased to be recognized with this award," said Clickstop CEO Tim Guenther. "It's very gratifying to compete on a national level with other promising companies." VP and CTO Shaun Linderbaum adds with a smile "We have even greater achievements planned for 2011."

The Inc. Magazine assessment also establishes Clickstop as the 4th fastest-growing Iowa company and the fastest-growing online retailer in the state. Established in 2005, Clickstop has pressed hard to achieve success during a time period which has seen many companies experience setbacks.

Clickstop's growth is due to a combination of factors including a razor focus on specialty categories where customers are under served. The company maintains a watchful eye on revenue, profit and margins and extensively tests pricing and merchandising strategies to achieve the most favorable results. Brands the company own and manage include US Cargo Control, EcoFoil, Space Savers and Ace Cat Furniture, among 5 others.

Accompanying Clickstop's growth is the expansion of the company's corporate and warehouse facility. Construction on the 35,500 sq ft facility began in July along I-380 at the Independence-Urbana exit. The company expects a Q1 2011 grand opening.
