Boston / No. of units: 16
Thirteen years after opening as “Under Wraps,” (which was changed to “The Wrap” almost immediately and then to its current name following a 2005 branding study), this New England-based “inspired burrito” concept was recognized in 2010 by Inc. magazine as one of 5,000 fastest-growing privately held companies in America. Boloco opens its 17th regional store this spring, and last year raised $5.5 million in equity capital for further expansion. The company also has grown its philanthropic efforts, contributing some $50,000 to community-based nonprofits in 2010.
