OUR STORY
Patron Points was established in 2004, when we first began installing single laptop systems at our clients’ locations all throughout the US. As technology began to grow, so did we! Today, we proudly integrate the Patron Points system directly into the POS systems of our clients, so that they can reward their customers for shopping at their locations. Our system is certified by a number of POS systems, including VeriFone, Gilbarco, Pinnacle, SmartDESQ, and NCR.
In a company that began in the homes of our founders, Erik Ogren and Michael Liebl, it’s humbling to see where we started, where we’ve been, and where we plan to go. Today, we have a large staff and we base all of our work out of the Patron Points corporate office in the heart of Oakdale, MN. From our first installation in Richfield, MN, to becoming a national leader in customer loyalty programs nationwide, Patron Points has helped hundreds of businesses get closer to their customers.
And we’re not ready to stop!
Our Mission
At Patron Points, our mission is simple – we’re focused on ensuring that all convenience store operators and retailers have the opportunity to grow their business by keeping a close eye on their customers. By equipping our clients with the customer relationship management solutions that they need to boost loyalty, retention, and acquisition, they can strategically position themselves for success – and that’s the only thing that matters to us!
