•  

• Check out our great selection of business class computers!
   

• We're the area's favorite computer store, according to a reader survey conducted by the Leader-Herald.  Another big thank you to all of our customers for supporting us.  It is truly appreciated. 
   

• We're number 13 for 2003 according to the Capital District Business Review, a weekly business newspaper.  Every week, the CDBR publishes a list of the largest firms in a certain category, and the first week in February is for computer dealers.   The Fulton Computer Co. started retailing computers in October of 1994, and by the 1997 issue we were listed.  All other computer dealers on the list are in the capital district.  Thank you, folks, for supporting local business!
   

• Used PCs!  We've been selling new PCs like hotcakes, and we've got plenty of trade-ins.  Check out our used computer page!
   

• DSL high speed internet is available in many areas of Fulton County.   We have PCs setup in our showroom using this new technology.  Stop by for a demonstration.
   

• The Fulton Computer Co. is an Amazon.com associate.  Visit our "Cyber Bookstore" while you're here.

• Computer tips! We get many, many telephone calls every day, not only from our own customers, but from folks that bought elsewhere and can't get any support.   We've answered so many of the same questions over and over that we've decided to publish some of the more "frequently asked questions" on a computer tips page. 
  
  
• We've  added a Clearance Items page.  This is where we post items that we thought would sell well but didn't, or perhaps a demonstrator, or maybe a discontinured item.  These are especially good deals! 

Our Mission Statement:
To provide our home and business customers with quality computer equipment supported by  local service comparable to the best in our industry.   We believe that by providing good service and dealing with our customers in an honest and straightforward manner, even if it means losing a sale in the short term, our business will be successful in the long term.

Company Profile

Our business began in 1989 as Gibson Associates, providing consulting and main frame computer programming services, with a staff of one... Dave Gibson.  The joke with my customers was that I had no associates, but that someday I might, and I wouldn't need a new name.  Business grew over the next few years, and I hired Howard and Kathy, two very experienced computer programmers.  Business continued to grow, and now included some municipal systems consulting on a national level, while our local programming business declined as main frame computer systems became outdated and PC based software applications got better.  We needed to redefine our business, and Howard, Kathy, and I needed to either move out of this area or do something else.  Since the three of us live here and like it here, we decided to stay, and in October of 1994 shifted focus to the retail computer market.  Our first month's sales were $254.  :-(

We're now a large retail-based computer center, offering customers quality custom built computers at a price competitive with mail order and big box chain stores but with the advantage of local service.  Our store in downtown Gloversville has over 2,500 square feet of sales space, plus a fully equipped service department, and a new computer "factory".  We are truly a large computer store,  ranked number 13 by the Capital District Business Review based on 2003 sales.   We are the only computer store outside of the immediate Capital District to make this list.

While we're very price competitive with mail order and retail chain stores, our customers purchase here because of our hard-earned reputation for prompt, quality service, and honesty.  We have established a high level of trust with our customers, and pride ourselves on that fact.
