I began my business career by buying an existing Christian Bookstore in 1972. I owned and operated Cook Christian Supplies for over 30 years. On Friday, January 23, 2004, I sold the bookstore (Cook Christian Supplies) to longtime bookkeeper April Litwiller. The Litwillers longtime family friends, so the transition was seamless and customers have continued to receive the type of service they have long enjoyed. I appreciate the years of support from the central Michigan Christian community and urge you to show the new owners the same loyalty. Thank You! Rob Cook

Cook's Music -Cook's Music began as a department of Cook Christian Supplies, and grew to what was at one point a chain of three stores in Midland, Alma, and Mt Pleasant. Cook's Music was sold in 1995 to Mike Otterbine. Mike sold the business in 2002 to Jim Gowen who moved the business from it's longtime location in 2005 and continues to do business in Mt Pleasant, Michigan. When Mike Otterbine sold Cook's Music, it displaced manager Brian Hansen. With Rob Cook's help, Brian then started his own music store, B's Music, in Alma. When Jim Gowen moved Cook's Music out of the longtime location at 613 N Mission, Mt Pleasant, Brian moved B's Music to that location.
