History

Klein Tools Corporate Office

Klein Tools was founded in Chicago, Illinois, by German immigrant Mathias Klein in 1857.  Klein developed and made a pair of side cutting pliers for a telegraph repairman. The company grew quickly as it began to make tools for telegraph, telephone, and electrical companies and their employees.

Today, Klein Tools continues to manufacture hand tools, specializing in electrical and telecommunications tools. The company manufactures nearly 4,000 different types of hand tools and tool bags. The company is still privately owned, with Thomas Klein as current CEO.

Klein Tool has its own drop forging plant in Moran, Kansas, as well as a distribution center in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

In September 2021, the company introduced a planar level tripod, eliminating the need to rotate a laser leveling tool. 

The company moved its headquarters in 2006 to Lincolnshire, Illinois.

Instacart Corporate Office

instacart 1

Instacart was founded in 2012 in San Francisco, California, by former Amazon employee Apoorva Mehta. Mehta wanted to create a delivery service similar to Amazon, but one that delivered fresh produce and groceries to customers from their local stores within hours after being ordered. Instacart 3

The company offers a delivery service of items purchased from a wide variety of grocery stores, as well as other types of stores, including Ralph’s, Market Basket, Petco, Costco, and Target, to name a few. Forbes magazine listed Instacart as “the most promising company in America” in January of 2015

Instacart mainly operates via its smartphone app, but it can be used on laptops, tablets, or desktop computers. Customers pay online as well via Apple Pay or Android Pay. Instacart 4

Instacart has approximately 500 employees, operates out of 15 major cities, including Denver and Los Angeles, and offers delivery from 24 stores, with more being added. In December of 2015, Instacart raised their prices by 50 percent, while cutting their payment to couriers by 50 percent in some areas.

In September of 2016, the company announced an expansion to their North Chicago area and in October of 2016, Instacart expanded their Orange County and Minneapolis coverage areas. Instacart 5

As of March 2017, Instacart services 36 markets, composed of 1,200 cities in 25 states: Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and Washington.

Also in March of 2017, Instacart agreed to pay a $4.6 million class action settlement stemming from the misclassification of its shopping employees as independent contractors. The suit alleged 18 violations, including improper tip pooling and failure to reimburse workers for business expenses.

Instacart shoppers complain that they face very harsh metrics, and can possibly lose their job for something as simple as an unplanned bathroom break. 

The company has also been plagued with hackers and bots. 

On September 3rd, 2020, the company added 7-Eleven to Instacarts list of available stores. 

Headquarters for the company are located in San Francisco, California. Instacart 2
