Barrio Tacos Corporate Office

Barrio Tacos was founded in 2012 by friends Joe Kahn, Tom Leneghan, & Sean Fairbairn. The company operates a small chain of Mexican food restaurants that specialize in “build your own tacos,” along with alcoholic beverages.

Restaurants feature an intricate wall mural and a Day of the Dead theme. Food trucks are often found at local events and catering and delivery service are also offered.

The company now has 6 locations in Ohio, one in New Hampshire, and one is scheduled to open in late 2019 or early 2020 in East Lansing, Michigan.

The co-founders are involved in a lawsuit over copyright infringement and breach of contract after former co-founder and owner Joe Kahn started his own taco business Condado’s Tacos.

SnackNation Corporate Office

Sean Kelly was tired of seeing vending machines at businesses offering mainly candy and junk food. He imagined what life would be like if employees were given healthy snacks to choose from and SnackNation was born.

The company offers a subscription service of snack boxes for companies, large or small. Snack boxes can be personalized for individuals or larger boxes can be ordered for entire offices.

Clients include leading brands such as Microsoft, Uber, Marriott, Travelocity, NFL Networks and others. The company acquired snack subscription service Edgilife in November 2018.

SnackNation was listed as #352 on the 2019 Inc. 5000 list of Fastest Growing Companies in America, with a three-year growth rate of 1,293%, annual revenue in 2018 of $24.2 million and was #10 for Top Food and Beverage Companies.

SnackNation also donates 10 meals to the Feeding America program for every snack box sold.

Company headquarters are located in Culver City, California.

Gobble Corporate Office

While Ooshma Garg was still in college at Stanford, she created her first startup company, Anapata, which matched students seeking jobs with employers. During this time, Garg says that she relied on fast food, take out food, and other unhealthy meal choices due to a lack of time to make healthy, home-cooked meals.

Garg decided to create a new startup that would fill this niche. Trying a delivery service of pre-made meals did not appeal to her since the meals were usually cold and unappealing. She then tried a business model similar to Blue Apron, where clients assembled the meals themselves but also found that this was nearly as time-consuming as making them from scratch.

Gooble was founded. Garg took the middle of the road approach. Ingredients for meals are measured, chopped, and ready to assemble. Clients only need to mix ingredients as required and cook them. Gobble states that meals take a maximum of 15 minutes to go from fridge to table.

Gobble’s subscription service does cost more than some others, but for subscribers, time is more important than cost. Most reviewers found Gobble superior to other services.

In September 2019, Gobble was listed by Esquire as being one of the top 15 food subscription services.

Gobble offers service in 35 states and has plans to expand to all 50 states within the next few years.

Headquarters for Gobble are located in Palo Alto, California.

Your Pizza Shop Corporate Office

The original Your Pizza location was founded by a family in Massillon, Ohio, in the 1950s. This family-owned business grew very slowly over the next few decades until 1978, when current CEO Dave Newstetter purchased the restaurant. He opened a second location in 1981.

Today, the company has 11 franchised locations in Ohio and Florida. Offering more than just pizza, the company also offers fish, wings, salads, special Italian foods, such as spaghetti, and other specialty pizzas.

In 2002, a newcomer to the neighborhood saw a sign above the Canton, Ohio, Your Pizza location that advertised a “420 Special”. Understanding this to be marijuana-related, the women asked that the sign be removed. After much protest, the sign was eventually removed, but the special pizza remained.

The company was named one of the best pizza franchises by Franchise Opportunity Blog in 2019.

Your Pizza Shop has future plans for expansion, including offering a sports bar, although the location has yet to be revealed.

Barilla Corporate Office

Barilla can trace its roots back to 1877, when a bakery owner in Parma, Italy, named Pietro Barilla began making pasta for local customers. The company remains in the Barilla family, now under the control of Pietro’s great-grandson Guido Barilla.

The company makes a wide range of boxed pasta, bottled sauces, and instant frozen dinners that feature pasta. Barilla is the world’s largest pasta maker, capturing more than 45% of the Italian market and as much as 25% of the American market.

Barilla has plants all over the world, including Mexico, the US, Italy, France, Russia, and more. The food processing plant in Greece is the third-largest plant in Europe. The wheat used for pasta products comes from around the globe as well.

The company had announced that they were going to use eggs from free-range chickens by 2020 and in September 2019, announced that they had reached their goal early.
