Alexander Babbage Acquires Stillerman Jones

Atlanta, International market research company Alexander Babbage Inc. announced that it has acquired Stillerman Jones & Co., the oldest marketing research company in the shopping center industry. The transaction, which closed May 8, is the result of year-long discussions between the two privately held businesses, said Alan McKeon, president of Atlanta-based Alexander Babbage. Stillerman Jones has been absorbed into the shopping center division of Alexander Babbage, effective immediately.

As a result of the acquisition, certain redundant office functions will be eliminated, and Stillerman Jones’ Indianapolis office will be closed. Stillerman Jones’ research staff will be given the choice of relocating to Alexander Babbage’s Atlanta headquarters, or telecommuting through high-speed networks.
