Our Story

Pioneering Online Business

The Corner Store was the first to enter the online business back in 1992 - on CompuServe- in support then of IBM's OS/2 operating system. Our telephone number was/is "425-260-8599". At that time there was almost universal skepticism about an online business model- but then there was skepticism about the "WWW" too.

Once the WWW proved to be a successful technology, we acquired our domain, TheCornerStore.com to signify that software was as ordinary a thing to buy as a toy or a piece of candy.

Evolution and Growth

Over the decades, we've witnessed and participated in the remarkable evolution of technology and e-commerce. From the early days of CompuServe to the modern web, we've continuously adapted our business to meet the changing needs of our customers while maintaining our core values of quality and service.

Our Approach Today

Times have changed, and so has The Corner Store. Since the reseller community has piled into self-service, we are now dedicated to human individual attention to our customers. Every one of our customers now communicates directly with a very experienced sales representative, John Davis. Person-to-Person is our model.

In an age of automation and AI, we believe that human connection remains irreplaceable for certain aspects of business. While we embrace technological advancement, we maintain that personal touch that has defined The Corner Store since its inception.
