ansOffice developed alongside ansPCRepair and eventually became part of a broader AccessNonStop business plan involving local services, online sales, retail, technology, and modest clothing — all intended to work together from a Main Street location.
ansPCRepair was already the established computer-repair side of the work. ansOffice began growing around it as a broader name for ideas that did not fit neatly inside computer repair alone.
The early concept was practical and local: keep PC repair at the center while adding services such as printing and faxing, along with a small selection of office-related items that could be useful in a small town when a larger store was not nearby or open.
PC repair remained prominent, while printing, faxing, and a small office-supply idea started developing around it.
The name was used while listing and selling shippable items on eBay, including games, movies, collectibles, decals, antiques, coins, and other merchandise.
A Vistaprint order from March 15, 2019 provides one surviving marker showing that the ansOffice identity was actively being developed for the online presence by that point.
During 2019 the plan developed into several small business areas operating together from a Main Street location in Waldron, with the legal structure being prepared to support them.
Access Non Stop LLC was formally filed on January 6, 2020. The larger idea was not four big stores opening at once; it was a group of smaller business areas operating together beneath one legal umbrella.
Printing documents and flyers, sending and receiving faxes, and helping with practical office-service needs. UPS and FedEx pickup/drop-off services were also possibilities if arrangements could later be made.
The original computer-repair business and the strongest established part of the structure. It existed before the expansion and continued afterward.

A modest-clothing concept with a strong focus on women’s apparel, while leaving room for men’s and children’s clothing as well.
A Main Street building had been lined up through a verbal arrangement and was being prepared for the project. The intention was to keep everything relatively small at first, with different parts of the space dedicated to different needs.
ansPCRepair and ansOffice would have shared back-office/service space, while the outlet and modest-clothing concepts would have occupied their own smaller retail areas. Online sales could continue from the same location.
The service area for community document needs, faxing, and possible future carrier services.
A dedicated work area for computer repair, diagnostics, troubleshooting, and technology support.
A small retail area for office supplies and other practical merchandise outside the service desk.
A modest-apparel area focused especially on women’s clothing, with room for men’s and children’s items.
Access Non Stop LLC had just been filed as the broader ansOffice plan was moving from preparation toward something more concrete. COVID-19 then disrupted businesses, workplaces, supply chains, travel, and everyday life across the country.
For ansOffice, the timing was decisive. Plans were put on hold before several parts could fully launch. As the pandemic continued, the Main Street building intended for the business was eventually sold, removing the physical location from the plan. The broader expansion never restarted. ansPCRepair, which already had its own history, was the part that continued.
The pandemic period changed businesses and plans, but its human cost mattered far more. This section is intentionally simple: a place to remember people, families, and communities affected during that time.
Marked by COVID created a National COVID Memorial project centered on remembrance, personal stories, and the experiences of bereaved families.
Among the people I remember from that period is Rev. Irvin Baxter Jr., founder of Endtime Ministries and host of End of the Age. I had the opportunity to meet him during my lifetime, giving his passing a personal place in how I remember that time. Endtime Ministries announced that he passed away November 3, 2020, following complications from COVID-19.
