TimeShare Exit Team Corporate Office

Timeshare Exit Team was founded in 2012 by current CEO Brandon Reed. After finding himself with two timeshares that he rarely had time to visit that had ever increasing maintenance fees, Reed decided to find a way to get out of his contract, without actually breaking it or selling it.

The company states that they are a consumer protection agency and that they do not buy or sell timeshares, but rather, they have proven “strategies” to get you out of your contract. Most people pay (on average) $5,000 for this service, which is basically giving the timeshare back to the resort.

The Better Business Bureau gives TimeShare Exit Team an A+ rating, as they have far more compliments than complaints. The company offers free consultations and can give you a better estimate of what your chances are for breaking your contract, depending on the company and which timeshare you want to offload. Commercials that feature young couples and older retirees are shown on popular prime time shows.

Welk Resorts filed a lawsuit against the company in July of 2017 claiming that TimeShare Exit Team used false advertising, fraudulent guarantees and misleading correspondence to recruit vacation owners in a nationwide scheme based on the false promise of getting owners out of their timeshare contracts with no consequences. TimeShare Exit Team has stated that the lawsuit was without merit and that they had plans to vigorously defend themselves in court.

The company does have a money back guarantee and they will tell you upfront that it takes anywhere between 8 months to 2 years to get results.

TimeShare Exit Team has headquarters in Lynnwood, Washington.

Offerpad Corporate Office

Offerpad is a start up company that uses data to change how people buy and sell houses. Jerry Coleman, a co-founder of Blackstone’s Invitation Homes, and Brian Bair, a top-selling real estate broker, founded OfferPad in mid-2015. Both serve as co-CEOs of the company.

The company relies on technology to make offers to homeowners, who they believe value the certainty of a sale and the ability to close within days, over getting the highest price. Offerpad purchases homes then resells them for a higher price.

Currently, the number of homes that the company has bought and sold measures in the hundreds, but this pair of businessmen say that they expect the number to be in the hundreds every single day within 5 years. Coleman and Bair originally self-funded the company and expanded it slowly since its initial launch in Arizona. Today, Offerpad operates in six markets; Phoenix, Arizona, Las Vegas, Nevada, Salt Lake City, Utah, Tampa & Orlando, Florida, and Los Angeles, California. The company has plans to go national, with at least 30 cities, by the end of 2020.

The company’s platform has shaken up the traditional real estate process by using technology to eliminate the uncertainty that comes with buying or selling a home. Using OfferPad is simple enough; homeowners visit the website and request a free purchase offer. Usually, within 24 hours, homeowners receive a competitive offer. Once they have accepted the offer, sellers can pick their closing date, and if they are moving locally, the company will move them for free.

The company has grown substantially in the past 3 years, forcing them to move to larger quarters in Chandler, Arizona, in March 2019. The exact address has yet to be made public.

Offerpad has headquarters in Gilbert, Arizona and employs approximately 150 persons.

Darden Restaurants Corporate Office

From an early age, William (Bill) Darden knew what he wanted. He opened his first restaurant at the age of 19 in his hometown of Waycross, Georgia, in 1938. He called it The Green Frog. This humble restaurant would be the first of many that Darden would operate.

In 1968 Darden branched out and opened his first Red Lobster in Lakeland, Florida, in 1968. After much success, he sold the company to General Mills, who expanded the Red Lobster chain to more than 400 locations by 1985.

In 1982, the company opened their first Olive Garden in Orlando, Florida.

In 1995, General Mills spun off their restaurants and created Darden Restaurants. In 1996, Darden went public on the NYSE under the ticker symbol DRI.

In 1996, the company opened the Bahama Breeze Island Grille chain, as well as the Smokey Bones BBQ in 1999.

In 2002, the company began testing of their concept of a different type of restaurant, one with a menu that changed with the seasons of the year, called Season 52.

In August of 2007, the company acquired The Capital Grille chain, as well as Longhorn SteakHouse restaurants.

In July of 2012, the company acquired Eddie V’s Prime Seafood, as well as Wildfish Seafood Grille for $59 million. Later that same year, the company acquired Yard House restaurants for $585 million.

In May of 2014, Darden announced it would be selling the Red Lobster chain to Golden Gate Capital for $2.1 billion.

In March of 2017, the company acquired Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen for $780 million.

Darden Restaurants employs almost 200,000 persons and had annual revenue in 2012 of $7.999 billion. Company headquarters are located in Orlando, Florida.

The Capital Grille Corporate Office

Ned Grace envisioned an upscale steak restaurant that business persons and top politicians would flock to for meetings, dinners, and drinks. He opened his first restaurant in Providence, Rhoad Island, in 1990. Some thought this was a strange time and place since the nation was experiencing a recession and Providence was too far from D.C. for dinner.

Grace was correct, however. Within 7 years, the business had more than $4 million in annual sales. By 1996, the company had expanded to 3 locations, with the other two being located in D.C. and Boston.

The company was acquired by Darden Restaurant Group in 2007 for $1.19 billion. The Capital Grille now operates as a subsidiary of Darden Restaurant Group.

The company is best known for its upscale decor which simulates an American country club, along with very large, top quality steaks, seafood dishes, and desserts.

The company has been known to overtake the competition by winning numerous awards, including being named one of the top 50 American restaurants in Open Table’s Diners’ Choice Awards, along with winning a number of “Best of Awards of Excellence” from Wine Spectator magazine. The chain also has received top marks on the Consumer Reports Restaurant Satisfactory Survey for the past few years.

In 2013, the Capital Grille location in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, opened for the first time on Thanksgiving day. Both Capital Grille employees and members of the Resturant Opportunities Center protested having to work on Thanksgiving without receiving holiday pay or any other type of extra compensation. In addition, the Pittsburgh City Council passed a Will of Council, opposing Capital Grille’s decision to force employees to work on Thanksgiving without additional compensation or holiday pay.

The Capital Grille has headquarters located in Orlando, Florida. As of the end of 2017, the company has 57 locations in twenty states, as well as the District of Columbia.

Stop & Shop Supermarkets Corporate Office

Stop & Shop can trace its roots back to 1892 when Solomon and Jeanie Rabinovitz opened their first produce store near Boston, called “The Greenie Store”. This location closed in 1908 but the Rabinovitz family opened another store in Somerville, Massachusetts, called Economy Grocery Store. Like the original, this store began by selling produce, but quickly added other food items, such as milk and meats. By 1917, the company had 15 locations.

Even during the Great Depression, Stop & Shop continued to be successful. By 1929, the company had 435 stores. The company name was officially changed to Stop & Shop in 1945. By 1949, the company was reaching $50 million in revenue.

Stop & Shop entered the Rhode Island and Connecticut markets in the early 1950s, New York in the early 1960s, and New Jersey in the late 1960s. In 1972, the company built the most technically sophisticated meat processing and distribution plant in its time in Marlboro, Massachusetts.

In 1982, the company built its first superstore in Springfield, Massachusetts. These Superstores were between 45,000 square feet and 80,000 square feet. In addition to traditional supermarket offerings, these stores featured bakeries, pharmacies, moderate selections of general merchandise one would not expect to find at a supermarket, such as hardware items or socks, expanded deli departments, cafes, and a salad bar. Some of these stores would also contain a bank, expanded liquor sections, along with beer, and video rentals.

In 1995, the company was acquired by Dutch company Ahold and acts as a subsidiary.

In 2007, Stop & Shop asked customers to submit stories and videos regarding their shopping experience as a means of promoting the value and camaraderie of shopping at their stores. The company introduced a smartphone app, along with a loyalty program and coupons in 2010.

The company launched its own Facebook page in 2013.

In December 2022, the company began selling fresh food items that were close to their expiration date via the FlashFood app.

The company currently has 422 locations and employs approximately 82,000 employees. Annual revenue for Stop & Shop was $15.2 billion. Headquarters remain in Quincy, Massachusetts.
