BENTONVILLE, AR, UNITED STATES, August 11, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Traverse Group today announced that two of its portfolio companies, Legacy Retail and DP Wagner, have been named to the 2026 Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America. Legacy Retail earned ranking No. 1895, while DP Wagner secured ranking No. 1977. This milestone achievement marks the fourth consecutive year that Legacy Retail makes the list, while welcoming DP Wagner’s addition to the list for their very first year.
The annual Inc. 5000 list recognizes the nation’s most successful independent and entrepreneurial businesses that have achieved remarkable growth while driving innovation, creating jobs, and shaping the future of the economy. Past honorees include companies such as Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Oracle, and Patagonia.
“Having both Legacy Retail and DP Wagner recognized on the 2026 Inc. 5000 is more than a ranking. It is proof that our people-first approach to building businesses works. As a holding company, Traverse Group exists to help great companies scale without losing what makes them special.

This year’s Inc. 5000 recognizes a new class of companies redefining what growth looks like. From AI and advanced manufacturing to healthcare, consumer products, and professional services, these businesses are expanding their impact, creating jobs, and proving that entrepreneurial ambition continues to fuel the U.S. economy. Among the 5,000 companies on the list, the median three-year revenue growth rate was 130%, and those companies have collectively added more than 627,208 jobs to the U.S. economy over the past three years.
“Every company on the Inc. 5000 has a story of perseverance, smart decision making, and a refusal to sit still,” says Mike Hofman, editor-in-chief of Inc. “Their growth reflects more than strong financial performance—it reflects creativity, resilience, and the customer focus required to build companies that make a lasting impact. We congratulate all honorees on this significant achievement.”
