Corporate Office

Huddle House Corporate Office

Huddle House was founded by Randy Sparks as a restaurant that sports fans could go to after the game. The company offers a menu similar to IHOP and allows customers to order any food item, regardless of the time of day.

The company has been sold several times over the years. Currently, the Huddle House is owned by private equity firm Sentinel Captial Partners, who acquired the chain in 2018.

There are currently 349 locations, with most of these being franchises. The company announced in February 2019 that they planned to make smaller locations, with no more than 2,000 square feet, in order to cut their carbon footprint as well as to make the restaurants more affordable to franchisors.

While many restaurants are closing down due to the pandemic of 2020, Huddle House is opening new locations in Tennessee and Alabama.

Huddle House maintains its corporate office in Atlanta, Georgia.

The Bancorp Corporate Office

(Not to be confused with U.S. Bancorp/US Bank)

Founded in 1999 by Betsey Z. Cohen, The Bancorp can trace it roots back to 1974, when Cohen founded Jefferson Bank in Philadelphia and served as chairman and CEO of the bank and its holding company, JeffBanks Inc. In 1999, she sold the $1.8 billion asset company for over $370 million.

Later that same year, Cohen founded The Bancorp, a virtual bank providing services to small and mid-size businesses and the Greater Philadelphia market area through its community bank. The bank offered private-label affinity group programs for organizations and institutions, including merchant card servicing. Today, The Bancorp is a bank holding company. The Bank offers services including interest-bearing checking accounts, a full line of loan products, and online bill payment. Bancorp operates in the States of Delaware and Pennsylvania.

The company is listed on the NYSE under the ticker symbol: TBBK.

Founder Betsey Z. Cohen retired in 2014. The Bancorp has been dealing with regulatory issues, as the FDIC hit it with a consent order in June connected to its anti-money laundering compliance.

In May 2018, the company was fined $2 million by the FDIC for charging excessive prepaid card fees.

Headquarters for The Bancorp remain in Wilmington, Delaware.

Foodie Call Corporate Office

Ana Mehra worked in corporate offices for years and became so frustrated with the lack of restaurant delivery services to business that she decided to go into business for herself. She founded Foodie Call in 2010 in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Mehra says that the company is more than just a delivery service, but a restaurant advertising firm as well. The company is one of the few to use insulated “hot” bags to deliver food, keeping it as warm as possible. The website uses cute lines to promote food, such as ” I’m saucy and you get to pick whether I’m dressed in ranch or bleu cheese. I’m usually pretty spicy but I can also be mild and sometimes a little sweet if that’s what you like. If you like wings, you’ll like me!”

Foodie Call was once limited to Charlotte and outlying areas, but after being acquired by Bite Squad in late 2017, the company now delivers almost everywhere Bite Squad does.

Company headquarters remain in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Rover Corporate Office

Rover is an online app that offers pet services, such as dog walking. Founders Greg Gottesman, Aaron Easterly, & Philip Kimmey came up with the idea and won an app startup contest in 2011. The company launched its mobile app later that same year.

The company began by creating a marketplace for dog sitting and boarding services. Over the next four years, they expanded to offer dog walking, doggy daycare, and drop-in visits. Every sitter on the platform is an independent contractor and is not an employee of Rover.com. In 2017 Rover.com began its Quick Match dog walking service, enabling owners to instantly book a dog walker.

The company earns money by taking a percentage of each booking made on its site, which is generally from 15-20% for dog sitting/boarding services up to 40% for its Quick Match walking service.

Thousands of millennials are taking advantage of this carefree way of earning cash without keeping regular hours or having to deal with bosses or co-workers, with some people saying they earn more than $3,000 a month using the app.

Clients for the company have more than doubled in the past two years, even though there was one report of the accidental death of a disabled dog.

Rover states that it hires only trusted personnel but at least 6 people have claimed that their dogs died or went missing after using Rover services.

Headquarters for Rover.Com continue to operate out of Seattle, Washington.

Pieology Corporate Office

Pieology was founded in 2011 in Fullerton, California, only blocks from the CSU Fullerton campus by friends Carl Chang and James Markham. Markham had been involved in the creation of Mod Pizza. The company creates artesian styled pizzas custom made to order.

The pizza chain quickly became popular and by 2015, there were 35 locations. In 2016, the company expanded by opening locations in Hawaii and Guam.

In January 2018, the company went international by opening a location in the Polanco district of Mexico City and stated that later in 2018, they would expand into Spain.

However, in March 2018, the company unexpectedly closed several corporate-owned locations in the San Francisco Bay area and in October 2018, four of the 5 locations in Michigan were suddenly closed.

Pieology currently has 130 locations and has headquarters located in Rancho Santa Margarita, California.
