Purple Mattress Corporate Office

Brothers Tony and Terry Pearce started their own manufacturing business in 1989 making wheelchairs and carbon fiber sporting goods. Over the years, the brothers developed 23 patented items for cushioning materials, fluids, and hyper-elastic polymers used in the manufacturing of shoes, toys, and medical devices.

In 2013, they created a machine called Mattress Max, which both manufactures and molds large pieces of elastic polymers into mattresses. Thus began the creation of the Purple Mattress.

The company also makes pillows, seat cushions and back cushions for chairs and other purposes, along with adjustable beds, platforms for their mattresses, sheets, and mattress protectors.

On July 27, 2017, Purple announced a merger with Global Partner Acquisition Corp (GPAC) with a value of $1.1 billion. Purple sells mostly online, but competition is stiff. In early 2018, the company began offering their product at Mattress Firm locations.

Company headquarters for Purple are located in Alpine, Utah.

Donald Daters Corporate Office

Seeking to “Make America Date Again”, Emily Moreno, a former aide to Senator Marco Rubio, created a website and, later mobile phone apps, that allow fans of Donald Trump to connect to one another.

Moreno says that it’s difficult for many conservatives to find dates, especially those in larger, more liberal cities. On the day the app was launched, more than 1600 people signed up. The app allows for 25 free connections. Users can also see what other’s in their area are doing with the local activity feed.

Unlike other apps, such as Righters, Moreno doesn’t declare war on liberals or non-fans of Trump who might use the app, as long as no hate speech is used. Users can block anyone they find offensive or undesirable.

On the first day the app was available, a glitch allowed the app to leak all of the user’s real names, personal messages, and photo’s. The site was immediately closed and Moreno made a public statement saying that the technical problem would soon be corrected and the app restored.

The site was also criticized for its original welcome photo showing a Trump rally that featured North Carolina conservative activist William Barrett Riddleberger, who had been convicted in 1995 of felony indecent liberties with a child. The photo of Barrett Riddleberger and his wife was later removed.

Headquarters for Donald Daters is located in North Olmstead, Ohio.

Teddy’s Bigger Burgers Corporate Office

Teddy’s Bigger Burgers was founded in 16998 by Ted Tsakiris & Rich Stula. Longtime BBQ fanatics, Ted and Rich didn’t understand why other burger restaurants were so chintzy with the size of their burgers. Friends encouraged them to start their own business.

The restaurant chain is known for it’s over the top burger and French fry sizes. Starting off with one location in Honolulu, Hawaii, the chain now has 26 locations, some corporate owned and some franchises. In 2014, the company expanded to Texas and recently, the chain has gone international with new franchises opening in Thailand, Saudi Arabia, Japan, and the Philippines.

In 2018, two teen-aged employees at a franchise in Hawaii made a video that went viral on social media showing what appears to be a dead rat being fried on the grill. The restaurant was immediately closed, sanitized, and the workers involved fired. The boys refuse to say whether the rat was real or not. The chain has had no problems with the health department, however, co-founder Ted Tsakiris says this prank has cost his company a minimum of $100k.

Company headquarters are located in Honolulu, Hawaii.

California Pacific Airlines Corporate Office

California Pacific Airlines was founded in 2009 by San Diego businessman Ted Vallas. Vallas wanted a San Diego based airline, rather than a Los Angeles based one. After investing $14 million of his own money, he hoped to raise $32 million more from other investors.

The airline struggled to achieve certification from the FAA and had additional difficulties securing routes out of Palomar airport and a fleet of planes.

At the end of 2017, the airline finally decided to acquire another airline, ADI Aerodynamics, rather than continue to search for affordable planes. This gave them FAA approval and the fleet was ready to fly.

The company gained permission from San Diego County to operate commercial services, and scheduled their first routes. The airline formally began its first commercial service in November 2018, with nonstop flights between Carlsbad and a select number of destinations in the southwestern United States.

California Pacific sweetened their ticket price by offering two free checked bags and one-way fares starting at $99.

Suddenly, in late December 2018, the airline announced that it was temporarily suspending flights due to a pilot shortage. No restart date has been given as of early January 2019.

Bausch + Lomb Corporate Office

Bausch + Lomb can trace its roots back to 1853 when two German immigrants to the US, John Bausch, and Henry Lomb made a small workshop which manufactured monocles. The business was so successful that by 1861, they were also manufacturing rubber eyeglass frames, as well as other eyewear products.

The company continued to grow substantially over the decades that followed. In 1945, Bausch + Lomb even refined the optics for the CinemaScope, which made movies more popular and caused theaters to double the width of their screens in movie houses.

Today, the company is best known for contact lenses, contact lens solutions, eye drops, and vitamins for the eyes. Bausch + Lomb operate as a subsidiary of Valeant Pharmaceuticals International. This global company operates in 36 countries and has more than 13,000 employees.

In July 2018, the company was waiting for approval from the FDA to produce a low-concentrated formula of loteprednol ophthalmic corticosteroid which can be used for the treatment of post-operative inflammation and pain following ocular surgery. The product is expected to be approved sometime in 2019.

Company headquarters are located in Bridgewater, New Jersey.
