How the list was done.  Grant Thornton North Carolina 100 ranks the state’s largest private companies by revenue in the most recent fiscal year, based on data provided  by participants. Now in its 31st year, the NC100 is a voluntary list restricted to companies based in North Carolina that do not have publicly traded stock. Companies owned by private equity are permitted.
This is a huge honor for Hissho, and an affirmation that we are continuing on the RIGHT path.  It takes a team effort to make it work!  Congratulations to our CEO Philip Maung, and all Hisshonians.

Hissho Sushi was #15 among 38 privately owned companies in North Carolina touted for their revenue and employment growth at an Awards luncheon held in Pinehurst, NC on Monday, October 19, 2015.
Business North Carolina and Cherry Bekaert LLP partnered to honor these top businesses which will be featured in the upcoming November issue of Business NC magazine.
Two years ago, Hissho was #1 in this prestigious group, and very honored to still be in the running after explosive growth over these past two years. Hissho was the only food business represented, as most were in IT, construction, or service industries.
