## Story

As the Houston metro area continues to grow, so does its businesses. This includes Christian Brothers Automotive, which has been expanding rapidly throughout the state and plans to open four to six new locations in the area over the next five years. The brand, known for its hospitality, appeared on the 2015 Inc. 5000 list of the nation's fastest-growing private companies with a 2014 revenue of $29.6 million.

"When it comes to the automotive repair industry, even in a down economy there's still going to be business because people rely so much on their vehicles," Brad Fink, owner of the Katy Christian Brothers location, told Crain's. "In the midst of economic dips and turns we have maintained steady revenue."
