Local Business Named One of the Fastest Growing Companies in America

All-Star Driver, Connecticut’s leader in driver’s education, is proud to announce it has been named by Inc. Magazine to its annual 5000 List, an exclusive ranking of the fastest-growing privately held companies in the United States.

All-Star Driver, with seven New Haven County locations including Orange, is ranked No. 1,598 on the nationwide list, No. 18 overall in Connecticut, and No. 23 in the ranking of the top 100 education companies in America. 

“To be recognized by Inc. Magazine as one of the fastest-growing companies in the nation and in Connecticut is gratifying,” said Brandon Dufour, General Manager of All-Star Driver. “It’s a validation of our strategy, the quality of our programs, and the hard work of our great employees.”

The Inc. 5000 list is a comprehensive evaluation of America’s independent entrepreneurs – one of the most important segments of the economy, especially here in Connecticut where our economy continues its slow recovery.

“The Inc. 5000 ranking is based on more than statistics, it is a reflection of a company’s performance,” Dufour said. “When we started All-Star Driver in 2007, we decided to focus on creating a great customer experience. The result has been tremendous growth and now national recognition of our approach to driver’s education,”

The Dufour Family has been in the school transportation business in Connecticut for nearly 50-years. All-Star Driver is an affiliate of All-Star Transportation, the largest privately held school bus company operating solely in Connecticut.
