History
Tony Ellison, Shoplet's founder and present CEO, conceived of Shoplet as an online business model in 1994. In 1996, Shoplet.com was officially launched and open for business. Originally, Shoplet sold a wide array of products, ranging from yachts and cars to computer hardware. In 1997, Ellison decided to hone Shoplet's focus on business products and materials and expanded Shoplet's selection of products to 100,000 items. Shoplet exceeded sales of $100 million in 2009.

Shoplet expanded its programs and services to the United Kingdom in June 2013.
