Atom Tickets Corporate Office

Atom Tickets was founded in 2014 by friends Matthew Bakal and Ameesh Paleja, two movie lovers who were frustrated that it wasn’t easier to get together with friends and see a movie without some major planning.

This pair created a mobile app which allows users to notify friends quickly about an upcoming movie, buy tickets online, even purchase your concession items at a discount, all from the comfort of wherever you are.

With theaters experiencing major losses due to lack of customers, Atom tickets is betting that moviegoers will want to return to theaters if you make things more convenient for them.

The company began in a few select locations, then went nationwide, as well as internationally by expanding into Canada, in 2016.

Television viewers are familiar with this ad, which has been placed in many prime time locations.

The founders feel that young viewers (under 25) are turning away from theaters and need something different to attract them.

The company has stated in interviews that they might expand this model to include dining out, reservations, group sales, and advanced concession sales at other venues, such as sporting events.

In June 2018, the company launched a free ticket reward program for their users in competition with Fandango.

Company headquarters are currently located in Santa Monica, California.

Furniture Liquidators Corporate Office

John Otter founded Furniture Liquidators in Fairdale, Kentucky, in 1965. His company began with one small location, selling closeout furniture from other stores.

Today, the company has more than 13 furniture showrooms in both Kentucky and Indiana. Otter added new furniture, as well as mattresses and bedding to his locations in the early part of the 1980’s. The company focus was on making customers feel as if they were buying from a local, small-time business while providing the selection of large furniture corporations.

After more than 50 years in business, the Otter family is retiring. The company was sold to Factory Furniture Home in the early part of 2018. Some locations will be rebranded at the end of the year to FFO Home.

At this time, headquarters remain in Fairdale, Kentucky.

Sportsman’s Warehouse Corporate Office

Sportsman’s Warehouse was founded by Bill Hayes in 1986 in Midvale, Utah. The company sells clothing, footwear, and gear which caters to sports-minded people with interests in hunting, shooting, ammo and reloading, camping, fishing, and other outdoor recreational activities.

The company filed for bankruptcy in March of 2011 and emerged from chapter 11 later that same year.

Zack’s and other accounting firms are bullish on buying stock in the company, noting that they have made favorable changes to the company in the past 18 months. Time notes that Cabela’s, Bass Pro Shops (which owns Cabela’s) and Sportsman’s Warehouse are the last remaining sports retailers that are willing to sell firearms.

The company currently has 88 locations, but will soon open more after acquiring several of Dick’s Field and Stream stores in September 2019.

After acquiring Field and Stream locations, the company remodeled the buildings and opened 8 new Sportsman locations in October 2019.

Since Dick’s Sporting Goods has dropped their firearm and ammo section, stores such as Sportsman’s Warehouse has found this to be a boon to their sale of firearm’s.

Sportsman’s Warehouse is publicly traded on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol: SPWH. Headquarters are located in Midvale, Utah.

Duckworth Corporate Office

Duckworth can trace its roots back to when John Helle’s grandfather purchased ranch land for his sheep in Montana for 2 cents an acre.

For many years the Helle family sold the wool from their sheep to brokers, who often mixed it with lower quality wool and sold it to the highest bidder. John Helle says he always wondered where their product ended up being used. In 2014, the family decided that they were going to start making their own products using just the Merino wool from their own sheep.

Duckworth is now a Montana source-verified wool company that uses 100% Helle Rambouillet Merino wool, processed, designed, and 100% sewn in the USA. The company makes its own products, including shirts, underwear, socks, and jackets, from its own Merino sheep and does not outsource it or mix it with lower quality wool.

This is increasingly important as wool now travels farther than ever before it meets your body. Duckworth wool fibers travel from Montana to the Carolinas (once a world powerhouse for textiles) for spinning, knitting, and sewing to strict standards.

Duckworth products are born, sheared, designed, and sewn in the USA. Helle says that the demand for their products has more than doubled in the past 3 years.

Company headquarters are located in Bozeman, Montana.
