About MindTheStore.com
MindTheStore started in 1982 as a small, fledging software company catering to the needs of "Main Street" retailers. Back then, the Company's products helped traditional retailers solve an age-old problem -- how to reconcile sales with inventory. Soon the company became a leader in providing complete end-to-end solutions for small to medium sized merchants.
In 1995, after years of marketing its software through a host of private- label arrangements to run on proprietary platforms, the Company arrived at a strategic crossroad . . . and embarked on the road to becoming "The Network Retail Works On." Today, MindTheStore brings the real world of "bricks and mortar" retailing together with the virtual world of online e-commerce, providing retailers with a one-stop real-time network solution that represents the future of retail.
At the heart of the Solution is MindTheStore's exclusive CORE (Creating Online Retail Efficiency) Technology engine, a powerful retail software management tool that retailers can access through the Internet on a monthly subscription basis.
