The Plug Drink Ranks at No. 1682 on the Inc. 5000 List

In a significant achievement, The Plug Drink has been recognized as the No. 1682 fastest-growing private company in America, according to the prestigious Inc. 5000 list for 2025. This list is widely regarded as a benchmark for identifying the leading lights among entrepreneurs and innovative businesses nationwide. With a staggering revenue growth rate of 260% over the past three years, The Plug Drink’s appearance on this list is a testament to its successful business model and growing popularity in the wellness sector.

The announcement was made on August 12, 2025, by Inc., a media authority guiding modern entrepreneurs and business leaders. The brand's commitment to providing health-conscious alternatives has resonated well with consumers, especially as the trends toward wellness products continue to rise.

Ray Kim, Co-Founder and CEO of The Plug Drink, expressed gratitude for the recognition, stating, "We feel very humbled to rank once again on the Inc. 5000 list. Last year was a significant milestone for our company, and this year is no exception either. Recently launching The Plug Pills Jar and partnering with Target.com has added excitement to our mission. We appreciate the unwavering support from our team and loyal customers, and we look forward to expanding our brand even further."

In the backdrop of economic challenges, inflation, and market fluctuations, this year's Inc. 5000 honorees have demonstrated remarkable resilience and adaptability, showcasing a median revenue growth of 1,552% among the top 500 companies. Collectively, these businesses have added over 48,678 new jobs to the U.S. economy over the last three years.

Justin Kim, Co-Founder and COO, elaborated on the brand’s vision, stating, "Witnessing our achievements alongside other wellness brands makes us proud. It reveals a consumer shift toward health-conscious alternatives. We aspire to be the first name people think of regarding liver health. With an exciting collaboration with a telehealth nutrition company on the horizon, we believe this will further accelerate our progress toward our wellness goals."

The Plug Drink, renowned for its all-natural liver health supplements, was established in 2019 by the brothers Ray and Justin Kim. Seeing a gap in the American market for effective liver health products influenced by South Korea's advances in herbal recovery fueled their determination to introduce The Plug Drink. The plant-based beverage quickly gained traction and now enjoys a robust online presence and widespread retail availability across California.

In anticipation of further growth, the brand aims to enhance customer engagement through revamped subscription and loyalty rewards programs launching in September. These initiatives are merely the beginning of plans to expand the company’s footprint and deepen its commitment to public health education, particularly concerning liver wellness.

The stories of perseverance reflected in the Inc. 5000 list highlight the entrepreneurial spirit that fuels the U.S. economy. As Mike Hofman, editor-in-chief of Inc., noted, "Earning a place on the Inc. 5000 speaks volumes about a company’s tenacity during challenging times."

The 2025 Inc. 5000 Conference will take place from October 22 to 24 in Phoenix, where honorees will gather to celebrate their successes. The top 500 companies will also be featured in the fall issue of Inc. magazine, shedding light on the extraordinary accomplishments of American businesses.
