Parrot Cellular | 3,767 followers on LinkedIn. We started our company in 1984 in a small house across the street from Valley Fair Shopping Center in San Jose. We specialized in installing those new fangled car phones that were selling for about $3,000 at the time. We grew with the industry and opened approximately 25 stores from 1994 through 1998 as “cell phones” became an everyday business tool and not just a luxury.
