Strive Workplace Solutions of Portland, Oregon has recently completed the acquisition of Pencilman Office Products, of Nampa, Idaho.

The deal, which came into effect on November 1, 2022, will see Pencilman operate as usual until January 1, 2023 at which time it will be rebranded as Strive and be migrated onto Strive’s systems and e-commerce platform. It will then also operate from Strive’s Meridian, Idaho location.

“We feel that the Pencilman acquisition was a good match for Strive’s business model and culture, “ says Jeff Lurcook, president of Strive, “as we value culture as much as any other aspect of businesses we are looking to acquire.”

Pencilman’s former owners, Stacie Crust and Jim Jackson, will remain with Strive.
​
“Finding a company that aligned with our philosophy on how we take care of our customers was the biggest deciding factor in choosing to team up with Strive”, says Stacie Crust. “Going the extra mile for customers and giving customers access to reach a person and not just technology are things we have always considered important. We look forward to working alongside and becoming a part of the Strive team”.

The Bend Chamber recently held their Commerce & Coffee event at Crux Fermentation Project's Barrel Room. Our Strive Bend Team had a great time meeting people from the local business community.

Thanks to the Bend Chamber and Crux Fermentation for a fun networking event!

Wow! Can you believe it has been one year since our family of companies re-branded under our new name, Strive Workplace Solutions? What once was a company with five different brands, in seven different locations, in three different states is now just Strive, formerly: Southwest Office Supply (Portland/Tigard, Oregon), Cascade Office Supply (Bend, Oregon), Office Value (Meridian/Twin Falls, Idaho and Salt Lake City, Utah), ROSI (Salt Lake City, Utah) and Layton’s (Layton, Utah). We thank you for continuing to support a locally operated, family-owned business! Looking forward to year 2!

Paul Savory - Owner/CEO

The COVID Pandemic has changed all of our lives. We all have experienced how valuable connections are and the importance of relating to each other. The best part of this weird year? The strong bonds we are building in our communities. We are standing together.

​Layton Office Supply started in 1984 as a family owned business and are known for their excellent customer service, strong core values, and a friendly demeanor. We here at Strive believe in hard work, a friendly environment, laughter, strong values, and above all, the best customer service we can provide. The Layton team has all of these values and we are thrilled to have them join our team.

Strive is one big family joining together to offer a strong support staff for local businesses in six cities.
