Add comment February 5th, 2008

High-flying Internet retail information firm FatWallet.com’s move from Machesney Park to Rockton opened up the building on Illinois 251 in front of the nearly vacant Machesney Park Mall for a different kind of computer company.

Mike Broski, President of Entre Computer Solutions, notified customers by email that Entre is moving from its East State Street building just off the Alpine Road intersection into the former FatWallet location. The move should be completed by Feb. 28.

“This space features many amenities not found in our current location,” Broski said in the email. “We will have state of the art training facilities as well as the most modern of inventory control areas.”

Entre Computer Solutions sells and services computer software and systems as well as training. The company won the Rockford Chamber of Commerce Small Business Award in 1998.
