Rent the Runway

Jennifer Hyman and Jennifer Fleiss met at Harvard Business School. While discussing ideas for a new business, Rent the Runway was the one idea that appealed to both women.

The company provides designer clothing and accessories for rent. Initially strictly an online service, the company has since opened 5 brick and mortar locations in Washington, D.C., New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and San Francisco.

The company also rents children’s clothing, accessories, including jewelry and handbags, and sells “essentials,” including lingerie, tights, shapewear, and cosmetics.

Due to the coronavirus crisis, Rent the Runway decided to close all of their brick and mortar locations and return to an e-Commerce business for the foreseeable future as of mid-August 2020.

Legacy Toys Corporate Office

Legacy Toys

Brad Ruoho and his wife Mistaya sold their online information company to spend more time with their three daughters. Noting that their daughters were glued more to their iPads than each other, the couple decided to create and find toys that were more interactive and encouraged family time.

The first Legacy Toys location was in their hometown of Ely, Minnesota. Later, the company expanded to include Duluth, Minnesota. Today, Legacy Toys has 7 locations.

The company was hit hard when it was forced to close in March 2020 due to the coronavirus, but Brad knew that parents would need toys more than ever to entertain house-bound children. A new website with online ordering capabilities was created and the company rebounded with more sales than before COVID.

History

The company says it can’t say when or even if stores will open again, but online sales are more than making up for lost sales.

Legacy Toys maintains a corporate office in Ely, Minnesota.
