Ritzcom purchased by Moses Lake company

On Oct. 28, Ritzville Computer and Internet announced to its customers that it was being purchased by Spectrum Online Services, LLC of Moses Lake.

In their letter, Brent Larsen and Dr. Valerie Eckley expressed sadness about selling the business and excitement about the new owners.

“We feel Bob and his team will best serve the extended family that many of you have become a part of over the years,” they wrote. “We deeply appreciate your support and business. We hope you will support Spectrum as your provider. We know Bob has many plans to upgrade and enhance the service.”

The letter states that Larsen’s health problems were preventing him from providing customers with the quality of service he would have liked to provide.

There was also a letter from Robert Iverson, the owner of Spectrum, attached with the Ritzcom letter.

In it, Iverson explained the transition was to take place on Saturday, Nov. 1, and they would work to make it as seamlessly as possible.

Iverson also outlined the history of his company and plans for the future.

“We have been providing internet services in Moses Lake since 2002. Having grown up in Harrington I decided to expand our service to the rural areas of Lincoln and Adams County, migrating services and towers from Ritzville Computer and internet will help us provide better service to the community.”
