GameTime Corporate Office

GameTime was founded in 2012 in San Francisco, California, by current CEO Brad Griffith. The company operates a mobile phone app which allows clients to purchase tickets to events.

After almost missing a game because of printer issues, Griffith decided there had to be a better way. He created a mobile phone app which stores a user’s credit card information and presents only the best tickets available to clients, rather than a long list of options. Currently, the company offers e-tickets for NBA, NHL, MLB, MLS, NCAA, and NFL teams and operates in 35 cities, with more being added each year.

In April of 2016, the company released a new option called SNAP, which allows clients to sell their tickets, even last minute, in the event they cannot attend. Company headquarters remain in San Francisco, California.

History

Marshalls Corporate Office

Founded in 1956 by Alfred Marshall, who envisioned a discount brand name clothing store. Marshall, along with several other investors, opened Marshalls and Associates in Beverly, Massachusetts. This store was unique in its day as not only were shoppers able to find deeply discounted brand name clothing, but it was one of the first “find it yourself ” stores, where sales clerks did not offer one on one service.

The company was very successful and by 1966, had grown to become the leading discount retail chain in the US. By purchasing manufacturers over-runs, closeouts, or out of season merchandise, the company can offer discounts of 20 to 60 percent.

Today, Marshalls is a subsidiary of TJX Companies. The company currently has 975 locations throughout the US and 38 locations in Canada, with 6 of these stores being opened in 2015.
