Owen Franklin, Blue Summit Supplies Top 40 Under 40

Owen Franklin is the founder and CEO of Blue Summit Supplies, an e-commerce solution to overpriced big-box office supply stores and the largest third-party seller of office supplies on Amazon. Owen spent half a decade building rocket systems for large defense contractors in Huntsville, AL only to realize he was frustrated with the lack of positive change he was bringing about in the world. Owen founded Blue Summit Supplies in 2016, where now, with his wife Tiffany, French bulldog Larry, and a growing team of professionals by his side, he hopes to impact the world for the better through the power of e-commerce smarts and office supplies.

In 2021, the company achieved a rank of 654 on the Inc. 5000 list as the company headcount grew from 12 to 30 and revenue from $0 to $60 million in Revenue in 7 years. The brand is diversifying its future growth plans by investing heavily in B2B distribution channels to supplement e-commerce operations and forge a path forward into the future.
