The Waynesville-St. Robert Chamber of Commerce is happy to feature a St. Robert business, a Waynesville business, and a business from our surrounding area as the chamber members for the Business Showcase for the month of January. These members are Carnivores Meats & Drinks, Delphi Brands and A1 Tech of Rolla. A1 Tech of Rolla was recognized virtually with a special photo. Our surprise patrol visited with the St. Robert and Waynesville businesses and dropped off a special sign to be displayed in their business throughout the month.

Being a Chamber member gives them the opportunity to talk to other business members about different aspects of our community. They were able to collaborate during COVID-19 with other business members. They were encouraged by fellow Chamber members.

“Being part of the Chamber connects us to our community, it’s been very helpful in providing networking opportunities and allowing us to give back.”
A1 Tech of Rolla
A1 Tech of Rolla has been in business since 2015.
A1 Tech of Rolla, LLC provides general IT services with mobile and onsite service. This includes the sale and setup of computers, service of existing computers, networking, printers, smart devices, and other IT infrastructure.

During the pandemic, A1 Tech was able to help individuals communicate remotely for work, educational, and entertainment purposes. Many workers and students went remote and needed a home office setup. Many also took to the road and traveled the country in their RV's and needed a setup that allowed them to communicate with their employer, friends, and family while working and playing on the road.
A1 Tech has the means to assist with preventing data breaches and scams.
“Being part of the chamber of commerce in local communities has helped support my business and allowed my business to support other businesses. It also provides the opportunity to help local organizations.”
A1 Tech has donated countless equipment to local schools as well as foster care agencies in the region. A1 Tech of Rolla, LLC has been voted the best computer repair service in Phelps County for the past five years and will continue to provide quality service to all customers.
