PR Newswire (US)
NORFOLK, Va., July 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Geeks On Call
Holdings, Inc. (OTC:GOCH) (BULLETIN BOARD: GOCH) , a premier
national provider of professional IT solutions to small business
and residential customers through its trade name Geeks On Call,
announced today the opening of a Corporate branch office in
Arkansas, serving Benton county. The Arkansas branch will be the
fourth Company-owned location established, beginning with the
Phoenix office in March of this year. Company-owned territories are
not only a way of building out the national footprint; they are
also areas where sales and marketing techniques can be tested for
future use in franchise locations. Owning Corporate branches in a
territory creates market research possibilities for Geeks On Call
and will provide measurable results, allowing for a standardization
not possible with locations owned by franchise partners. The branch
will be staffed by the same level of industry-certified, trained
and screened IT professionals as are employed at all Geeks On Call
franchises. Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer
Rich Artese said, "The Arkansas market is key to our strategic
expansion plan in that it allows us to strengthen our presence in
the South Central United States. We look forward to seeing what new
possibilities open up there." About Geeks On Call Geeks On Call is
