Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. Bates said the merger was a “great cultural fit” and that Pinnacle IT’s focus on security and customer service aligned with his company’s values and service focus.
The Computer Hut, a two-time Arkansas Business of the Year finalist, said the deal expands its technical and geographic presence in Arkansas’ River Valley.
Pinnacle IT President Bill Stuckey said “joining The Computer Hut just makes us stronger.”
The Computer Hut will add a technical engineer position and a business development position as a result of the merger, expanding its employee count to more than 35. Post-merger, the company will have five offices in Little Rock, Lowell, Texarkana, Jonesboro and Fort Smith.
