Rainbow Computing

Rainbow Computing

Rainbow Computing was a Los Angeles-based Apple II retailer and software publisher that was established in 1976 by Gene Sprouse and Glenn Dollar. The original store was located in Granada Hills, CA, and it eventually relocated to Northridge, CA, where it operated for several years before going out of business.

It is notable for having sold personal computers to the founders of some of the first video game publishers before they started their businesses.
