The Greater Madison Chamber of Commerce announced EZ Office Products as the winner of its 2025 Ground Floor Award for Small Business Leadership on Tuesday.
The award is given to small businesses for their leadership in their business in the community.
“It’s difficult to overstate Rose and Gary’s (Molz) dedication to the betterment of greater Madison and its businesses,” Chamber President Zach Brandon said in a statement. “This commitment to the community is matched only by their commitment to their customers and the causes they support, including sustainability and education.”
The couple opened EZ Office Products in 2006. Since opening, the company has been honored more than 10 years in a row as the number one Preferred Office Supply Company by In Business Madison, recognized as an MPower Business Champion, a Green Professional business by the Wisconsin Sustainable Business Council’s Green Masters Program and voted one of Madison Magazine’s Best Places to Work.
“We started EZ Office Products with a mission to help local businesses to operate more affordably, efficiently and sustainably,” Gary Molz said in a statement. “We’re thrilled that we’ve been able to continue this mission for almost 20 years, thanks largely to the support of our community.”
Previous recipients include Jim Garner of Sergenian’s Floor Coverings, Susan Bulgrin of Culver’s on Todd Drive and Echo Tap & Grill, Jeff “JP” Patterson of JP Hair Design, Mark Schmitz of ZEBRADOG, Eugenia Podestá of Synergy Coworking, Carol “Orange” Schroeder of Orange Tree Imports and Henry Sanders of 365Nation.
