Carrier Corporate Office

Carrier Corporation was founded in 1915 when Willis Carrier, who invented air conditioning in 1902, pooled resources with 6 other engineers to create the first air conditioning company in the world in Newark, New Jersey.

Over the years the company has acquired several businesses, as well as been acquired by others, the latest in 1979 by United Technologies Corporation. The company manufactures, sells, and installs air conditioning and heating units around the world. In 2001 the company was recognized as being the largest manufacturer of refrigeration and heating units in the world.

In November of 2016, the company negotiated a deal with then president elect Trump that they would leave a heating manufacturing plant in Indiana, saving about 800 jobs. The remainder of the plant and jobs were sent to Monterrey, Mexico. Carrier received a $7 million tax incentive over the next 10 years.

Carrier and other HVAC companies have the potential to make a bundle with the coronavirus crisis since it has more people spending time indoors.

Jackrabbit Corporate Office

Jackrabbit was founded in 2003 by Lee Silverman in Brooklyn, New York. The company operates a chain of running shoes and sportswear apparel, specifically geared for runners. The original name of the company was The Running Speciality Group.

The original store became very popular as employees underwent an 8 hour training session so that they would be able to sell customers the correct pair of shoes. From the single location, the company has grown to more than 66 stores in 17 states. The company was purchased by The Finish Line in March of 2015 for an undisclosed amount and the company name was changed to Jackrabbit at this time.

Jackrabbit headquarters are now located in Denver, Colorado. The Finish Line didn’t waste any time, however, in selling Jackrabbit. Private equity firm CriticalPoint Capital acquired Jackrabbit for an undisclosed sum in late January of 2017. It is unknown if the company will change name or move headquarters at this time.
