TeleCheck Corporate Office

TeleCheck

TeleCheck was founded in 1964 by John Chaney & Robert Bayer. The company originally began as a check verification service, providing businesses with assurances that a clients personal check, even out of state checks, had sufficient funds.

Today, TeleCheck operates as an electronic funds transfer service. Customers who do not have or do not wish to use, their credit or debit card have their personal checks entered into a TeleCheck device, which electronically transfers the funds immediately from the clients checking account to the business.

History

TeleCheck also keeps records of persons who write bad checks. Historical data check verification services that use a national network with a negative check database can be difficult for consumers and businesses to remove themselves from once they get on, even in the case of errors.

In 2014, the company paid $3.5 million in fines to the FTC for violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act and for failure to promptly correct errors on consumer accounts.

TeleCheck was acquired by First Data in 1992. The company has acquired several other check verification services since the 1990s, including ClearCheck Services in 2006.

TeleCheck operates as a subsidiary of First Data, which has headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia.

Skivvie Nix Corporate Office

Skivvie Nix

Founder Brighton Boerner was speaking to her friends one evening, discussing how and where they purchase their underwear. She found that most were like her; no time or interest in spending hours searching for comfortable underwear. After seeing a television ad for the Dollar Shave Club, Boerner decided to start her own subscription service for women’s underwear.

In an interview, Boerner says the idea to start her own business came at an opportune time since she was fired from her PR job just two months later.

History

The company was listed as one of the top 7 subscription underwear services on popular review site Urban Tastebud.

This all-female startup offers 3 styles that go by cheeky names such as Tenderloin, T-Bone, and Rump Roast. Subscriptions for 3 or more months offer free shipping. Each box contains two panties of choice for about $20.

Corporate office for Skivvie Nix is located in Broomfield, Colorado.

Fred’s Corporate Office

Fred's

IN 1947, Paul Baddour and his two brothers opened a small discount store in Coldwater, Mississippi. While the company was originally incorporated as Baddour, Inc., Paul later named one of the stores after his brother Fred, and the name stuck.

History

The company opened stores in small towns and offered deeply discounted prices on closeout items. Fred’s stores did quite well, even competing against the giant Walmart by expanding store sizes from the usual 5,000 square feet to 30,000 square feet or more.

Fred’s has diversified into other areas, including Fred’s Pharmacy, Dollar Stores, GetWell Drug and Dollar, and the Yazoo Trading Company. In 2018, the company sold its prescription patient information to competitor Walgreens from their 185 pharmacies. Walgreens paid $165 million for this information after Fred’s was unable to purchase hundreds of Rite Aid pharmacies.

Fred’s is publicly traded on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol FRED.

The company had annual revenue in 2016 of $2.125 billion but lost $66.5 million. This has caused the company to announce the closure of 159 stores in April 2019 which the company states were underperforming or whose leases were about to expire.

Fred’s company headquarters are located in Memphis, Tennessee.

Everlywell Corporate Office

Everlywell

In 2015, Julia Cheek was not feeling well and began a series of tests to try to determine the cause of her health problems. No one ever explained her test results and after spending 6 months and more than $2,000 in co-pays, she finally discovered that she had vitamin deficiencies and other issues.

Cheek decided that there had to be a better and less expensive way to have testing performed. In 2015, she founded EverlyWell. The company offers more than 30 test at home kits for everything from hormone to vitamin deficiency tests, metabolism and STD testing, as well as thyroid function and fertility tests.

History

The company received a $1 million line of credit after appearing on the popular television series Shark Tank in 2017. In 2017, the company recorded revenue of $6 million and in 2018, $20 million and is projected to hit the $50 million mark in 2019.

Cheek says that she encountered a lot of resistance at first since insurance companies cover the costs of these tests, but Cheek believes that people have a right to privacy and that those with no insurance or high deductibles, such as her case, will be interested in her product.

The corporate office for EverlyWell is located in Austin, Texas.

MTailor.Com Corporate Office

MTailor

Bit Body, Inc., doing business as MTailor, was founded in 2012 by Miles Penn. The company offers tailor-made clothing using an app and a smartphone camera, to create a custom fit, tailored wardrobe for less than custom made clothing from brick and mortar retailers.

History

The company claims that the app is 20% more accurate than a physical tailor and that they offer 10,000 different combinations of suits and shirts.

Penn appeared on the popular television show Shark Tank in 2016, and was described by host Mark Cuban as “possibly the most arrogant person we’ve had on the show.” Unable to reach an agreement, Penn left the show disappointed but felt he did the right thing in turning down their offers.

MTailor began offering dress shirts for men but now offers a wide range of clothing options for both men and women.

Company headquarters are located in San Francisco, California.
