History

Established in 1994.

In 1994, Henry Roth was interested in opening a copy/​business centre and he explored a number of options. He finally decided to work under a franchise structure for all the usual reasons. When his contract expired in 2004, Henry felt confident about the future of business centres but he believed strongly that there had to be a better way than the franchising model. Accordingly, he ended his association with his franchisor, changed the name of the business to CORE Business Centre and started the CORE Business Association for similar businesses to join forces, pool buying power and benefit from more control and flexibility of their businesses.

The Association has grown around its Montréal base and it now numbers 6 stores in the Greater Montréal area and an additional member in upstate New York. Future plans include welcoming new members from across Canada and the northeast United States.
