Houston, Tx - (October 23, 2023) Gilbert & Pardue (GaP) is proud to have advised Jacob Walker and Mason Wells in their acquisition of Zuma Office Products.

 

About Zuma Office Products

Zuma Office Products is an online office supplies superstore with personal service, a quick and easy-to-use website, and prices guaranteed to meet or beat the office products giants. 

Zuma opened in December 2009 with the mission to give back to others and do business the right way. The founder was in the office supply industry over 25 years with some of the world´s largest office products companies.

After years of dealing with Big Box chains, loose ethics and corporate red tape, a vision of building a business that makes a difference took shape. And so, Zuma was created, inspired by the principles of the founder’sfaith as the business model, to offer an alternative to today’s office supply stores.
Zuma believes giving back to the community is the right way to do business, so they donate half their annual net profits at a minimum to great charities. The Founder was quoted as saying “It inspires us about selling paper clips and rubber bands for a living, and we thank you for being part of our journey.”
