Stitch Fix Corporate Office

sf 1

Stitch Fix, originally named Rack Habit,was founded in 2011 by current CEO Katrina Lake and Erin Morrison Flynn. Lake attended Stanford, where she became interested in statistics and how they were used to influence customers. While she was attending Harvard Business School, she started the idea of Stitch Fix and began working on it from her apartment. Her research told her that people didn’t always like shopping at stores but felt that they couldn’t afford a personal shopper or a styling assistant.

sf 1  Stitch Fix is an online clothing subscription service which offers personal assistants to help pick out clothing styles for clients. After filling out a questionnaire about styling preferences and body measurements, clients can choose to receive subscription boxes as often as they wish. Clients can keep what they want and return what they don’t want, with free shipping each way.  sf 2

The company began only selling women’s clothing but has since added men’s wear, maternity clothing, and petite sizes. The company also supports integration with Pinterest boards, allowing customers to add photos of fashion looks that they like.

Stitch Fix has been profitable since 2014. In July 2016, the company ended its fiscal year with recorded sales of $730 million. The company has also raised $42 million from outside investors.

In July of 2017, the company went public on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol: SFIX. sf 3

MusclePharm Corporate Office

mp 1

Two online friends, Cory Gregory and Brad Pyatt, were both interested in bodybuilding and often talked about how supplements can play a big part in that. In 2006, they began working on a formula which would contain all the ingredients that athletes and bodybuilders would want. MusclePharm was incorporated in 2006. The company went public on the OTCQB soon afterward, under the ticker symbol: MSLP.

mp 2

The company is an online retailer which offers nutritional supplements and athletic gear.  MusclePharm uses social media sites to promote their products, including a very active Twitter account, which has more than 200,000 followers.  Arnold Schwarzenegger is one of the biggest shareholders in the company and lends his image to one product line, simply named “Arnold”.   mp 6

The company has its own research and development team to create new products while sponsoring a host of athletes to promote current ones.

By the end of 2014, the company reported net revenue earnings of $67 million. mp 5

In September of 2015, MusclePharm was charged by the Securities and Exchange Commission with infractions related to a number of accounting and disclosure violations. The investigation found that the company failed to report, or grossly misrepresented, approximately $500,000 in benefits paid to three current or former executives and chairmen. The SEC also discovered that MusclePharm issued stock without a registration statement when it entered into numerous transactions with third parties that agreed in exchange for company shares to pay cash to MusclePharm vendors. MusclePharm owed vendors approximately $1.1 million in outstanding invoices and was short on funds to pay them. Founder and CEO Brad Pyatt stepped down and resigned as a result. mp 3

The company was also sued in 2016 by Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals, who stated that the company was inflating the actual level of protein found in their “Arnold” Iron Mass products.

MusclePharm has headquarters in Denver, Colorado. The company has a B+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and ratings of 9.1 out of a possible 10 on sites such as Bodybuilding.com.

Chanel Corporate Office

chanel 1

Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel was an orphan who learned all about sewing and dressmaking from the nuns at the orphanage where she lived. When she was 18, she opened a hat-making shop on the ground floor of the Parisian flat of the textile businessman Etienne Balsan.  Because the Balsan flat also was a salon for the French hunting and sporting élite, Chanel had the opportunity to meet many mistresses and wives, who became fans of her hats and, soon afterward, her dresses.

chanel  At a time when corsets and large feathered hats were still in style, Chanel was unique in that she was more interested in comfort than style. She instantly did become a fashion icon, as women everywhere began ditching their corsets and wearing “the little black dress” and the Chanel suit dress. chanel 2

The color black was only worn by widows or those in mourning until Chanel introduced it as an acceptable fashion statement with “the little black dress. little-black-dress-1_large  Chanel is also known for using jersey cloth, which was commonly used for men’s underwear.

In 1921, Chanel asked a perfume maker to create a new fragrance to match her clothing. This perfume, which she named Chanel #5, is now the best-known perfume name in the world. The #5 name came simply from the perfume batch that Chanel liked best. chanel 1  While Chanel stores in Europe had to close during WWII, Chanel herself was allowed by the Nazi regime to continue making her perfume. After the war, she decided to retire to Switzerland.

Chanel grew bored with retirement, however, and returned to France, to find the world was enamored with a new designer, Christian Dior. Determined to get back into the business, Chanel created new suits, a line of jewelry, and what would become the infamous handbag design with the double C embossed into the leather. chanel 4

Coco Chanel passed away in 1971, but her infamous stores and products continue on. The company has more than 300 stores located around the world and an untold number of upscale stores carry her designer items.

In 2016, the company had an estimated annual revenue of $5.2 billion. The corporate office for Chanel in the USA is located in New York, New York. chanel 3

RockAuto Corporate Office

rockauto 1

RockAuto was founded in 1999 by brothers Tom and Jim Taylor. After growing up in Detroit and working for both the GM and Chrysler factories, these brothers found true frustration with most auto parts stores. In the 1980’s, car factories were closing and many auto parts stores were struggling. Tom and Jim moved to Madison, Wisconsin, and after trying to be happy working other jobs, they decided to open their own online auto parts store.

rockauto 5  While RockAuto claims to have more than 1 million parts in stock, the company actually uses large distributors to actually hold items in a warehouse. RockAuto finds the parts and has the distributor ship the parts to the customer. RockAuto backs their suppliers, however, and if there is ever a problem. RockAuto takes care of the issue.

rockauto 4  The company has been growing steadily over the years but is reluctant to actually release any numbers. RockAuto has recently been running some ads on prime-time television shows, such as the Rachel Maddow Show on MSNBC. The commercials might be a bit corny, but the company says they have been effective. rockauto 3

A survey in 2020 found that companies such as RockAuto who frequently use radio advertising, do better than those who do not. 

RockAuto has a 4.7 out of a 5-star rating on many review sites, such as Google. The Better Business Bureau gives them an A+ rating, with more than 790 positive reviews. Company headquarters remain in Madison, Wisconsin.
