Local TV News WBTW filed this report...Wild Creations, the toymaker based in Myrtle Beach, was recently named one of the most successful small businesses in the country by a trade publication.
Inc. Magazine ranked the company as the 259th fastest-growing private company in it's recent Inc. 500 issue.
Co-founder and CEO Peter Gasca said his company continues to grow and remain successful, with only 14 employees, by focusing on relationships. "Businesses are about relationships," said Gasca, who along with Rhett Power bought the company four years ago. "There's nobody that can go about it by themselves, so we developed nice relationships.

When times are good for us, times are good for them," he said. READ MORE
