Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
Parents Without Partners was established in 1957, incorporating in New York. Over the years, we have had chapters throughout the United States and Canada.
What is your primary product or service?
Chapters provide emotional and educational support to single parents and their children.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
After 23 years of marriage, I found myself once again single. All my friends were married and although they were very supportive, I felt like a "fifth wheel". A friend introduced me to Parents Without Partners and over the years I have become more and more involved.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
Parents Without Partners is not a dating organization. We offer educational support to parents as well as their children. Children become aware that there are other kids out there that come from a one parent household. This support is something that is not accomplished through dating sites.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
We have chapters throughout the United States and Canada. Over the years, many chapters have closed due to low membership. We are currently in a rebuilding mode and are opening chapters once again.
