Academic Superstore - Our Story

Started in 1998 in Austin, Texas, Academic Superstore has always been the fastest-growing, education-focused retailer in North America. We are committed to academic customers, offering thousands of major brand hardware and full-version software titles at great prices. We have partnered with the top technology manufacturers including Adobe, Microsoft, Sibelius, Sony Media Software, and Wacom, to bring top-notch service and low prices which are available only to students, schools, and teachers.

With the awesome growth of Academic Superstore, people often ask us about the secret of our success. The simple truth is that our "big secret" to success is a very obvious one: relationships. It has always been our goal to maintain a close connection with students and teachers and their dedication to learning. By maintaining close relationships with software and hardware companies who offer the latest in technology products, we can provide a one-of-a-kind resource for educators, students, and parents.
