History

PC Connection, Inc. was founded in 1982 by Patricia Gallup and David Hall. The co-founders met while serving as a support crew to hikers on the Appalachian Trail.

The company's first headquarters occupied a former woodworking mill in Marlow, NH. To launch their business, Gallup and Hall used Gallup's savings of $8,000 to purchase inventory and take out a 1/9th-page ad in Byte magazine.

In 1987, PC Connection was named to the Inc. 500 as the second fastest growing company in the United States.

In March 1998, the company completed its Initial Public Offering on the NASDAQ exchange under the symbol PCCC.

In September 2016, the company announced a corporate rebranding. The "Connection" brand unites all subsidiaries (PC Connection, GovConnection, MoreDirect, and Softmart) under one brand name. NASDAQ stock ticker changes from PCCC to CNXN.
