Our history goes back some
20-years when we opened shop as
C & R Business Systems Ltd. That
company is the forerunner for
Partner Stores, Inc. C & R was
renamed Partner Stores, Inc. in
October 2007 to better describe
what we do. C & R, at one time
was a Gold dealer for accounting software
modules produced and marketed by
SBT Corporation, which sold
itself to Computer Associates in
1996/1997 time frame. We were
also a Gold and Silver dealer
for many other concerns although
most of our work was doing
technical support and help desk
processes for the products we
sold and installed.
We decided in 2000 to shutter
C & R because we were doing more
business in another corporation
we formed in 1997 for Internet
web site designs. However, we
did not legally close the C & R
corporation; only declared it as
inactive.
Little by little, what C & R did
was beginning to squeeze itself
into the promotions business
almost to the point that it was
difficult to explain what the
company represented. And that is
the reason why Partner Stores,
Inc. is taking the place of C &
R Business Systems Ltd. It has
to do with all the partnering
our owners were doing with their
Internet promotion business.
It's back to basics for that
company as we integrate into
Partner Stores, Inc. that part
of Sunset Promotions, Inc. which
doesn't fit the model that it
is.
Partner Stores, Inc. is located
in the Grand Rapids metropolitan
Michigan area. What we do is
bring together multiple vendors
who we have either formed an
affiliate relationship or
actually represent them to you
the potential buyer of their
products. The idea is for you to
be able to locate your needs
from one source rather then
bouncing all over the Internet
locating products. We will have
arts and crafts from local
artisans as well as from
nationally known artists. We
will have product that we
purchase for resale from a few
good vendors in the USA.
