Quill Corporate Office

Jack Miller realized that companies needed to buy office supplies. He borrowed $2,000 from his father-in-law and opened a small “warehouse” using a back room of his father’s poultry shop in 1956.

Along with Jack’s brother Harvey, the pair created marketing strategies and produced a small mail-order catalog.

Quill became one of the first office supply mail-order companies in the US.

Today, Quill serves more than one million small and medium-sized businesses across the USA. While at least 70 percent of all sales are now completed online, the business also still has a mail-order catalog and a direct sales venue.

In 1998, Staples acquired Quill for $685 million. Quill remains one of Staples most profitable subsidiaries.

In 2007, JD Powers recognizes Quill for providing Outstanding Customer Service.

In 2008, Quill launched “the green scene” initiative with environmentally friendly products and business practices.

In 2015, the company picked up green kitchenware manufacturer TrueChoicePack.

Quill maintains a corporate office in Lincolnshire, Illinois.

Pittsburgh Telephone Answering Service Corporate Office

The Pittsburgh Telephone Answering Service, better known as PTAS, was founded back in 1932 when resident John Forbes began answering the business phone for a business next door.

The company also operates Washington (Pennsylvania) Answering and Call Management Service.

PTAS offers message relay service, phone answering services, forwarding calls, and call center services.

While this type of service may not seem necessary in today’s age, many people would prefer to speak to a human being, rather than leave a message on a machine.

This service also provides “Disaster Disruption”. If your company phone lines are out of order due to a natural disaster, and/or the cell phone system is down, PTAS can provide a valuable backup service.

PTAS features a generator for backup if power should be lost, as well as using two different phone company lines in case service is not available from one company.

PTAS will ensure that messages are relayed promptly, whether they are from clients or family members.

Pittsburgh Telephone Answering Service maintains a corporate office in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Restaurant Depot Corporate Office

Restaurant Depot was founded in Queens, New York, in 1990 by Jerry Cohen. While working at a single cash and carry store that many local restaurants used, an idea began to form Cohen’s mind.

What if restaurants could shop at a warehouse-type store that sold bulk products specifically designed for restaurants?

Restaurant Depot was born.

Cohen’s idea was an immediate hit. Within 4 years, business was booming so much that Cohen decided to open a second location.

Today, Restaurant Depot operates 134 locations across the US. Each store provides a membership and offers items that are common in local restaurants, such as crab for New Englanders and salad ingredients for the west coast.

The company rarely advertises and passes the savings onto its members, with most restaurants stating that they pay 30 percent less than they would at other warehouse locations.

In August 2022, Restaurant Depot announced its 135th location that will open soon in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

The pandemic of 2020/2021 has wreaked havoc on the restaurant industry, with some items being sold in limited quantities for the first time ever.

Restaurant Depot maintains a corporate office in Whitestone, New York.
