Lizzie Borden Bed and Breakfast Corporate Office

Lizzie Borden Bed and Breakfast was founded in 1996 by current owner Martha McGinn, who inherited the house from her grandparents. The business operates a bed/breakfast/museum at the house where Lizzie Borden allegedly killed her parents in 1892.

The home features regular spiritual and psychic readings, ghost hunts, and allows people to rent the room where Borden supposedly killed her parents with an ax. Although Borden was acquitted, the house remains a point of intrigue. Borden’s father was a carpenter and many of the items he made are still in the home.

Lizzie Borden Bed and Breakfast has a small museum, a gift shop, and sells memorabilia, such as Lizzie Borden dolls. The house also offers a tour for those who do not wish to stay the night.

Roto-Rooter Plumbing Corporate Office

Roto-Rooter Plumbing was founded in 1935 in Des Moine, Iowa, by Samuel Blanc, who was frustrated with a clogged drain at his son’s apartment. Blanc designed a drain/sewer cleaning machine that used a motor from a washing machine, a cable, and a child’s wagon to carry it on. He called his device the Roto-Rooter and he began to sell his machine to individuals for $250.

Today, Roto-Rooter is owned by Chemed Corporation, who purchased it from the Blanc family in 1980. Roto-Rooter remains one of the largest providers of plumbing repair, sewer and drain cleaning, as well as water cleanup in both the US and Canada. The company has more than 3,600 employees.

The company still has headquarters, and a manufacturing plant, in Des Moine, Iowa. The manufacturing plant makes plumbing and drain cleaning tools and equipment for both its employees and other plumbers in the industry, as well as a variety of drain cleaning liquids.

National Car Rental was founded when 24 independent rental car agents decided to create a co-op in 1947. The company operates a chain of car rental locations and is currently owned by Enterprise Rent a Car (Enterprise Holdings, Inc.)

As of 2005, the company had grown to more than 2,000 locations in the US and internationally. The company introduced a mobile phone app for frequent users to make reservations and cancellations easier. The Emerald Club is a loyalty program which enables customers to bypass the counter and choose any car designated as an Emerald Club Car.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, car rental companies, such as National, cut back on car inventory. In March 2021, the new demand for rental vehicles has now caused a backlog and outrageous price increases.
