Jonas Paul Eyewear Ranks No. 96 on Inc. Magazine’s List of the Midwest Region’s Fastest Growing Private Companies

Companies on the 2022 Inc. 5000 Regionals Midwest list had an average growth rate of 147% percent.

GRAND RAPIDS, MI - March 15, 2022 -- Inc. magazine today revealed that Jonas Paul Eyewear is No. 96 on its third annual Inc. 5000 Regionals Midwest list, the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing private companies based in Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, North Dakota, Nebraska, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. Born of the annual Inc. 5000 franchise, this regional list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the Midwest region economy’s most dynamic segment–its independent small businesses.

"We are so honored and humbled to be included on Inc. Magazine's Midwest Regions's list of fastest growing privately-held companies," said company co-founder Ben Harrison. "If we look back to day one of our business, the one thing that remains a constant is the support of our dedicated customers. Without them, we would not be here accomplishing what we have - without them, we would not exist. The thought of continuing to build this business with integrity and customer focus at our core is something that excites my wife [and co-founder], Laura, and I. We can't wait to see where this next year takes our entire team."

The companies on this list show a remarkable rate of growth across all industries in the Midwest region. Between 2018 and 2020, these 144 private companies had an average growth rate of 147% percent and, in 2020 alone, they added 19,821 jobs and nearly $11.7 billion to the Midwest region’s economy. Companies based in the Chicago, Illinois, Noblesville, Indiana, and Overland Park, Kansas, areas had the highest growth rate overall.
