The Acoustic Shoppe Named to Inc. 5000 List of Fastest-Growing Companies

Inc. magazine has ranked The Acoustic Shoppe No. 3,211 on its annual Inc. 5000 list, the benchmark of the fastest-growing private companies in the United States.

Operating out of a single brick-and-mortar storefront in Springfield, Missouri, The Acoustic Shoppe has built a global community of musicians — shipping acoustic guitars, mandolins, banjos, fiddles and ukuleles to players across all 50 states and 12 countries. That growth has been fueled by an active online presence, including its YouTube channel which has more than doubled its subscribers in the past year, from roughly 62,000 to 128,000, and reached 48 million lifetime views.

“We sell instruments to people who have never set foot in Springfield, and that only works if they trust what we tell them about an instrument,” said Jeremy Chapman, CEO of The Acoustic Shoppe. “Ninety-three percent growth is what happens when you put real players in front of a camera, describe an instrument honestly — including what might not be perfect about it — offer our industry-leading 1-Year Dread-Not Guarantee, and build community around our love of acoustic instruments. There are no shortcuts, and it doesn’t happen without our team. We had 11 employees when this period started and 15 when it ended. This ranking belongs to them.”’

“Every company on the Inc. 5000 has a story of perseverance, smart decision making, and a refusal to sit still,” said Mike Hofman, Inc.‘s editor-in-chief. “Their growth reflects more than strong financial performance — it reflects creativity, resilience, and the customer focus required to build companies that make a lasting impact. We congratulate all honorees on this significant achievement.”
