Company Information

Follett Corporation Company Profile

Not all kids like to read, but (fortunately for Follett) by the time they reach college, they don't have a choice. Follett is the nation's #1 operator of college bookstores, with more than 800 campus bookshops across the US, as well as Canada. The company's six business groups, which reach about 120 countries, also provide books and audiovisual materials to grade school and public libraries, library automation and management software, textbook reconditioning, and other services. Follett acquired its smaller online rival Varsity Group in 2008, complementing its own efollett.com website that sells college textbooks. The Follett family has owned the company for four generations.
