Wrangler Corporate Office

Wrangler was founded in 1904 by C.C. Hudson and the Blue Bell Overall Company, who originally named the company Hudson Overall Company. They employed an old cowboy named Rodeo Ben (Bernard Lichtenstein) who was also a tailor. He helped to design what are today call Wrangler jeans.

Today, Wrangler is a subsidiary of VF Corporation, who also owns Lee, JanSport, and NorthFace. Wrangler is sold all over the world, with Australia, the US, and Europe being their largest markets, where Wrangler jeans are almost iconic.

There are currently no factories in the US sewing Wrangler jeans, the last one closing in 2005. Although most people associated the brand with the American west, cowboys, and American country music, the jeans are actually sewn in Mexico.

The company continues to seek out sustainability for its products. In September 2020, Wrangler sought out farmers who would or are growing regeneratively grown cotton.

In May 2023, Wrangler signed a multi-year contract with country singer Lainey Wilson to promote its fall/winter clothing line.

The Container Store was founded in Dallas, Texas, in 1978 by two co-workers Garrett Boone and Kip Tindell. The company operates a chain of stores which offer consumer household organization items.

The company offers a wide range of items for organization and storage for almost every room of the home, as well as some that could be used for business, including filing cabinets, garage overhead storage containers and units, closet designs, boxes, and unique jewelry box containers. From the original small store in Dallas, the company today has more than 80 locations, with plans to open 30 more in the next 5 years.

In mid-2018, the company released a new set of ads with a creative tagline of selling space, rather than focusing on containers.

The Container Store went public on the NYSE and is sold under the ticker symbol: TCS. The company was sold to equity-based firm Leonard Green and Partners in 2007. Annual revenue in 2019 was $895 million. The company employs approximately 5,110 persons.

In October 2020, Container Store stocks began to soar based on the news that earnings will be higher than expected.

This is possibly due to The Container Store being featured on the Netflix series “Get Organized With the Home Edit” program.
