About Us

About Us

Comp-U-Save was founded in 2004 by Erik Koelling, less than a year after graduating from Milikin University, with a bachelors degree in Business Entrepeneurship. From the start, Comp-U-Save has focused on selling refurbished computer equipment and helping customers solve technology problems. Over the years we have grown from a 1 man show to a team of four.

The pictures below are of our first 2 locations which are across the street from our current location.
