Spacesaver Specialists entered the Portland business scene in mid 1978. Bob and Beverly Bowlsby had acquired the remaining assets of a small, struggling building products company. The only significant asset was the contractual right to represent Spacesaver Corporation in Oregon and Clark County Washington. They also acquired a significant debt load.
Mid 90’s Building
The Bowlsby business adventure began from a sub leased 9’x9’ office space at the Oregon Dairy Council Building on Barbur Blvd. Bob sold, installed and serviced Spacesaver storage equipment while Bev worked the phones and general office administration. It took 13 months to pay all creditors and another five years before Jim McCord (current President) became the first full time employee.
Mid 90’s Install
Growth in business and people created workspace challenges. After 15 years operating out of leased space near Washington Square the company moved to their new 30,000 square foot Spacesaver Business Center in Tualatin in 2001.
