Bob Anderson, CEO and founder of The Paper Store, was profiled in a Feb. 27 article, “The Paper Chase: For The Paper Store’s CEO, Evolution Is the Name of the Game,” in Boston Business Journal. The company’s first store opened in 1964 in Maynard, Mass. Today, its 52 retail stores sell more than stationery and paper goods; according to the article, half the company’s revenue is derived from jewelry and fashion. Bob’s wife and five of their six children also work in the business, which employs 800 workers year-round and more during peak times.
