WeWork Corporate Office

WeWork was founded in 2010 by friends and business partners Adam Neumann and Miguel McKelvey. Office space in New York is extremely expensive and finding, furnishing, and maintaining a nice office in an upscale neighborhood was out of the question for most small businesses.

This led Neumann and McKelvey to offer shared office space for entrepreneurs, start-up companies, or even for larger companies who want a satellite office but don’t want to pay for expensive office for only a handful of employees, such as PepsiCo, who rented space in 2011.

WeWork investors included J.P. Morgan, Wellington Management, Goldman Sachs, and Benchmark. Starting off with a single building in New York’s SoHo district, the company now has 270 locations in 90 cities. In July 2017, the company announced that it would expand into China and later that year, that it would expand into Southeast Asia.

Early in 2017, WeWork opened an online store which offers its clients software and discounts on

In November of 2017, the company acquired MeetUp and a few months later, acquired Conductor.

In April of 2018, the company announced that it had merged its China operations with local competitor Naked Hub.

In November 2023, the company, once valued at $47 billion, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

Bennett Auto Supply Corporate Office

Bennett Auto Supply can trace its roots back to 1946 when Allen and Lettie Bennett opened a service station in Oakpark, Florida. The gas station also had a small grocery store and Allen used to repair bicycles and sell bicycle parts in the back.

By 1954, Bennett began selling tires and batteries to other service stations in the area. In 1957, the Bennett’s realized that auto parts were a major part of their overall business and decided to focus strictly on that. For better distribution, the company created a warehouse under the name Ben Clair, Inc.

The company expanded quickly in the 1960’s and is now the largest supplier of auto parts in southern Florida.

Bennett Auto Supply is still family owned and operated with Allen’s sons Barry and Harold as the executive team, as well as Allen’s grandchildren now working at the business.

The company has a 92,000 square foot warehouse and 34 locations throughout South Florida. Company headquarters are now located in Pompano Beach, Florida.
