Business Machines Plus has been a central Minnesota office supplies dealership since the 1950, when Virgil Austin owned and operated what was then called Office Supply. In 1989, Dennis and Ivy Sutton purchased the business from Mr. Austin. With the help of the staff and its customer base, Business Machines Plus expanded into a full line office equipment dealership, representing companies such as Konica, Hewlett Packard, Nobolis Computer Systems, United, and others. In the early stages, the company was renamed to Little Falls Office Supply. Later, the company incorporated and changed its name to Business Machines Plus, Inc, to reflect the emphasis on machines and the added (Plus) services offered by the staff when the customer made a purchase.
