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”.

Over the recent National Donut Day celebration, we decided to have a little fun with it. Each of our locations had donuts looking to share their passion for donuts on this fun day!

The growing problem of catalytic converter thefts hit our Bend, Oregon location last month. 
Events like this can be frustrating, expensive, disrupt business and spread rapidly through the community. Sharon, one of our Bend Team members notified police of the theft, created this flier and shared it with local businesses to help bring community awareness to the problem.

Thanks to Sharon and our Bend Team's quick response, hopefully other businesses in the area can prevent this from happening to their company and employee vehicles.
​Sharon appeared on local News Channel 21 to share the story with the local community.
