LetsGetChecked Corporate Office

LetsGetChecked, a home-delivered lab testing company, might never have come to be if it hadn’t been for a delay in the founders’ own testing for cancer.

After being kicked in the groin at a rugby match, then teenager Peter Foley, went to the hospital. They released him but when the pain continued for several weeks, he returned. No one checked for possible signs of cancer, which after months of delay, ended up being the case.

Foley knew that if home testing kits had been available, his family would have had a test done and his cancer would have been found much sooner. LetsGetChecked went live in 2015.

Clients are free to use any test they like- anything from vitamin deficiency tests to hormone testing, cancer screening to coronavirus testing.

The client receives the kit in the mail, follows the instructions, mails back the samples, and after the results are returned, a nurse will call the client to discuss the results.

While the company is amassing tons of private data and DNA samples, Foley says the company has no plans to give access to anyone or to sell results or DNA to anyone.

To date, the company has raised more than $42 million in funding.

In early June 2020, the company received FDA approval for “emergency” coronavirus testing for $130. The results are back in 24 hours from the time the company receives the test. Testing facilities for US customers are located in New York.

While LetsGetChecked operates out of Dublin, Ireland, there are corporate offices and testing facilities in New York, New York.

Old Country Buffet Corporate Office

Old Country Buffet opened in 1984 with the idea that not employing wait staff and bartenders, the buffet would have a lower payroll than a more formal restaurant and a lack of waiters/waitresses might appeal to customers who preferred not to pay gratuities.

The restaurant menu was based on typical “country-style” American food, including fried chicken, hamburgers, chicken fried steak, french fries, creamed corn, and hot rolls.

The chain was initially a big success and expansion followed. By 1996, there were 250 restaurants scattered across the US.

Before Old Country Buffet filed for bankruptcy the first time in 2008, its parent company Buffets, Inc. had merged with Ryan’s Restaurant Group in 2006. After the 2008 Chapter 11 filing, the chain reduced some of its 626 locations and slashed debt by a whopping $700 million.  

The company filed for bankruptcy again in 2012 and yet again in 2016. With each filing, the company closed restaurant locations.

In 2014, the company was sued for salmonella poisoning and the subsequent brain damage it left behind for one patron. The company didn’t respond to the filing since the health department had fined them for 18 violations the month before. The plaintiffs were awarded more than $11 million.

The restaurant chain closed all locations during the COVID-19 crisis and subsequent quarantine. As of June 2020, a few locations have opened including one in Columbus, Georgia.

Old Country Buffet maintains a corporate office in San Antonio, Texas.

Drizly Corporate Office

Drizly was found in 2012 by 3 Boston college students, Nick Rellas, Justin Robinson, and Spencer Frazier. They wondered why nearly anything could be ordered and delivered except for beer and liquor. This trio set about to change history with their app called Drizly.

The company offers an app that sells beer and liquor that is delivered within an hour to a customer’s home. This app is available in nearly every major US city, as well as Calgary and Alberta, Canada.

In July 2018, Drizly entered into a partnership with Anheuser-Busch to keep beer stocked in offices across the country. The partnership allows exclusive handling delivery to Anheuser-Busch’s Office Bud-e fridges, which use smart sensors and WiFi connection to automatically re-order beer when stocks run low.

Drizly works with local retailers to provide products and Drizly provides drivers. Drivers have a separate app with proprietary ID verification technology that it provides to its retail partners that allow drivers to scan IDs for more than a barcode to make sure the purchaser is over 21 years old in the US and of legal drinking age in Canada.

Drizly does not take a cut of the order price, which is one reason why New York’s State Liquor Authority approved it to operate without a liquor license. Instead, Drizly charges the liquor and wine stores a monthly fee to use its order fulfillment software as well as its iPads and iPhones. The company does not mark up the prices of alcoholic beverages themselves. Retailers on Drizly may have a minimum order or delivery fee, typically $5.

The coronavirus and subsequent quarantine have not hurt Drizly sales, in fact, the company states that they saw a 435% increase in the number of orders through mid-April 2020.

Drizly maintains a corporate office in Sherborn, Massachusetts.
