Juicy Couture Corporate Office

Juicy Couture was founded in California in 1995 by Gela Nash and Pamela Skaist-Levy, two friends who decided to create their own fashion label, Travis Jeans, which sold maternity pants.

The next year they changed the name of the company to Juicy Couture.

To gain attention for the brand, Nash and Levy began to send their designs to celebrities. In 2001 the famous Juicy Couture tracksuit was introduced and custom-designed for Madonna, who turned it into a trend.

In 2003 Juicy Couture was bought by Fifth & Pacific Companies (formerly Liz Claiborne Inc.).

In 2004 the velour tracksuit became popular with Jennifer Lopez, Britney Spears, and Paris Hilton.

In 2013 Fifth & Pacific sold the company to Authentic Brands Group (ABG) for $195 million.

Juicy Couture is sold in department stores such as Bergdorf Goodman, Bloomingdale’s, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Neiman Marcus, as well as through flagship stores and boutiques in North America.

Juicy Couture is a global brand, and is available in over 60 countries across North America, Europe, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East.

Motel 6 Corporate Office

Motel 6 was founded by William Becker and Paul Greene in Santa Barbara, California in 1962.

The partners wanted to build motels with bargain rates and decided on the rate of $6 per night; a rate which would cover building costs, land leases, and janitorial supplies. This $6 rate is the reason for the name “Motel 6.”

To cut costs the brand offered coin-operated black and white television sets instead of the free color televisions offered at more upscale hotels. Motel 6 also had no on-site dining, a model that continues today.

Throughout the 1960’s the Motel 6 model became more popular and the company began to take a small market share away from bigger chains.

By 1980 Motel 6 had 300 locations.

Kohlberg Kravis Roberts bought Motel 6 in 1985 and began to move it away from the no-frills approach.

French-based Accor bought the company in 1990 and began franchising in 1994 in order to expand more quickly

In 2000, Motel 6 expanded internationally for the first time with a location in Ontario, Canada.

In 2008, the company began a nationwide overhaul and remodeling of all locations. The newly designed rooms won the Travel and Leisure Design Award in 2010.

The Blackstone Group bought the motel chain in 2012 for $1.9 billion.

In September 2017, immigration attorneys accused Motel 6 desk clerks at two locations in Phoenix, Arizona, of notifying US Immigration when guests checked in only with identification from Mexico. The attorneys said that court records showed that federal immigration agents arrested at least 20 people the Phoenix Motel 6 locations over the course of seven months in 2017. Motel 6 stated that this was an isolated incident at the Phoenix locations and that they did not endorse this practice.

In June 2019 the company settled a class action lawsuit over this practice. Settlement terms included a 3-year agreement to not violate customer privacy and pay $12 million.

Today Motel 6 has more than 1,100 locations in the United States and Canada. Motel 6 also operates extended-stay hotel chain Studio 6, which has about 60 locations. Company headquarters are located in Carrollton, Texas.

McAlister’s Deli Corporate Office

McAlister’s Deli was founded in 1989 in Oxford, Mississippi by Dr. Don Newcomb, a retired dentist.

The original restaurant was opened in a renovated gas station and some of those original design elements are still incorporated into the design of the restaurants, such as garage door and black and white tile.

Most McAlister’s Delis are owned and operated as independent franchises. Locations vary from single-location family-owned operations to larger multi-unit groups such as JME, Inc., Southern Deli, and The Saxton Group.

In August 2020, the company operated a sweepstakes in which 20 customers would receive free food for one year.

YouTube Corporate Office

YouTube was founded by Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Kim, who were all early employees of PayPal.

The inspiration for the site came when Karim could not find videos online of Janet Jackson’s infamous Super Bowl halftime show in 2004 or the Indian Ocean tsunami that same year. This led to the idea of a video sharing site.

YouTube went live in May 2005 with a public beta test and was officially launched in November 2005.

By July 2006, 65,000 new videos were being uploaded each day and the site was receiving 1 million video views per day.

In October 2006 Google bought YouTube for $1.65 billion in Google stock.

Today YouTube displays a variety of user-generated content such as TV shows, video clips, music videos, video blogs, and educational videos. Most of the videos are uploaded by individuals but media corporations such as CBS, BBC, Vevo, and Hulu offer some of their material on YouTube.

YouTube is available in over 60 languages and is the clear leader in online video sharing with 2 billion video views each day.

In February 2020, YouTube stated that it paid various music companies more than $3 billion in royalties in 2019.

Also in 2020, YouTube launched a third-party video subscription service in order to compete with Amazon and Apple.

YouTube maintains a corporate office in San Mateo, California.
