Seven years ago, Jacob and Juliet Stoner had an idea to set up an e-commerce Website to sell computers parts.
“We were operating out of the basement of my husband’s condo, taking apart broken laptops and selling the working pieces on eBay,” Juliet stated.
It was during this time that Juliet said the couple discovered there was a large demand for laptop AC adapters so they decided to sell those as well.
“We sourced new laptop adapters from overseas and imported them on a large scale,” she stated.
From there, the Stoners expanded their product line to include a variety of electronics and computer accessories. Since starting their business, Juliet said they’ve moved three times to increase the size of their warehouse.
“We opened an office in Shenzhen, China, three years ago to help facilitate trade with our suppliers,” Juliet stated.
They now have 15 employees operating out of their warehouse in the United States and another four working at their office in China. After many years in e-commerce, Juliet said they decided to open a retail store in March at 8227 Northwest Blvd., Suite 120.
“We are still offering the same things that we have on our website and in some cases, the price is actually lower because there isn’t a shipping cost,” Juliet said.
Juliet said their store offers supplies for Macs and PC’s.
“We also sell a line of cell phone charges and we just started selling a line of LED lighting,” she said, adding that the store is starting to take off. “We are blessed to be celebrating seven years and I really think it’s because we focus on making sure our customers are satisfied.”
The store is open 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday. For more information, call 800-738-7120 or visit www.jacobsparts.com.
