About Us

Cornerstone is a unique blend of human touch and state of the art technology. We apply the right balance of human and technological resources to provide our customer with real solutions. Since its inception, the company's objective has been to provide today's retailer with value solutions for complex challenges in the management of surplus equipment and shopping cart fleets. This is based upon developing a thorough understanding of our customers' businesses and the unique challenges that they encounter each and every day. Today's retailing environment is more competitive than ever and retailers are confronted with challenges and obstacles that require focus, resources and discipline to solve. That's where Cornerstone comes in. Cornerstone has been on the forefront of developing, marketing and implementing customer-specific equipment service solutions that meet the short and long term needs of our customer. This is our passion and our expertise.

Our Surplus Equipment Management Program, which we have developed over many years, is a perfect example of our understanding of our customers' challenges and needs and then developing a comprehensive and innovative way to meet those needs. The Program integrates all of the services required to effectively, efficiently and economically manage surplus equipment. From transportation to storage; store auctions to equipment reconditioning; equipment sourcing to equipment consulting; store decommissioning to equipment retrofits; to our green equipment recycling program and custom inventory management software, we cover every aspect of managing equipment surplus so that our customers can manage their core business.

History

Cornerstone was founded in May of 2003 by Jerry Evans and Ray Borges. The company began operations in a one room office in Anaheim, CA offering basic equipment repair and maintenance services to the grocery industry. As we developed our expertise and as each of our associates became imbued with our passion for customer service we have been presented with new opportunities. Our service offering has expanded dramatically since our early days and now includes a menu of services that are unmatched in this industry. In December 2007 we moved to our new Corporate and Division facility in Ontario, CA. In addition, our geographic expansion has been fueled by new opportunities presented by our customers.
