Harkins Theatres Corporate Office

Harkins Theatres

In 1931, Dwight “Red” Harkins left home in Cincinnati, Ohio, to pursue a career in the “talkies” in Hollywood, California. He ran out of funds in Tempe, Arizona. After working for a few years, he decided to open his own movie house in Tempe, called the Star Theatre in 1933.

From these humble beginnings, Harkins Theatres has grown into a large movie chain in the Southwestern portion of the US. The company currently has 34 locations in 5 states, some of these through acquisition.

History

Harkins opened two theatres in California in 2006, later adding two additional locations in 2016 which include the “Harkins Ultimate Lounger”, which provides reclining chairs and reserved seating, as well as a “lobby bar”, which provides beer and wine.

The lobby bar has proven to be so successful that the company is expanding the idea to include beer and wine service in most of their Arizona locations.

Every summer, Harkins Theatres hosts Summer Movie Fun, which is geared for children. The program features 10 children’s movies from the previous year. Harkins developed the program more than 30 years ago as a way to offer parents an affordable summer activity for children.

The company maintains headquarters in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Blue Apron Corporate Office

Blue Apron

Founded in 2012, friends Matt Salzberg, Ilia Papas, and Matt Wadiak packed the first boxes and delivered them from a commercial kitchen. Within one year, the company launched larger operations, first with a launching site in California, and later adding 3 additional sites. By 2015, Blue Apron was able to serve every state in the continental US.

History

In 2016, Buzzfeed reported unsanitary conditions at the original launch site in California. The company attributed this to its “new” status and made the necessary changes.

The company went public on the NYSE under the ticker symbol APRN in June of 2017. Since that time, Wall Street has cut the company’s stock price in half, which prompted Blue Apron to cut their staff by 6%.

Company headquarters are located in New York, New York.

Blue Apron is a recipe and meal ingredient subscription service. Weekly boxes contain ingredients and include suggested recipes that are cooked by hand by the customer using the pre-ordered ingredients.

Viacom Corporate Office

Viacom

Viacom is a multi-media giant, mainly in the areas of television and film. While the company can trace its roots back as far as 1952, when it was CBS Films, it is generally accepted that Viacom was founded in 2006.

History

Viacom has led a long-term lawsuit against YouTube (owned by Google) for copyright infringement since February 2007. Both parties apparently settled out of court in 2013 with no money being exchanged and the exact terms undisclosed.

In late 2018, the company announced a 3 picture deal with Netflix. In early 2019, CBS began talks with Viacom about a possible merger of the two companies.

Viacom continues to expand via acquisition, this time picking up Awesomeness TV in July 2018 for $300 million, which was half of its estimated value.

Viacom is listed on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol VIA. In 2017, the company reported annual revenue of $13.263 billion.

Company headquarters are located in New York, New York.

Tazza Kitchen Corporate Office

Tazza Kitchen

Tazza Kitchen was founded in 2013 by friends John Davenport, John Haggai, and Jeff Grant. All had previous restaurant and finance experience, which came together when they decided to create a restaurant that they themselves would love.

This upscale restaurant features a from scratch menu that is cooked over a wood-fired grill or oven. The original restaurant became so popular that the company has since expanded into 6 other locations in 3 states, including Virginia, North & South Carolina.

History

In 2018, the original restaurant site in Short Pump, Virginia, was remodeled to include an additional 1,000 square feet of dining room and kitchen space at a cost of $500,000.

Tazza Kitchen also announced in late 2018 that they were launching a drive-through option, offering their gourmet foods from the Short Pump restaurant for those who wish to take items home. Called “The Big Kitchen”, this concept eliminates people standing in the main restaurant for to-go orders.

Headquarters for The Tazza Kitchen are located in Henrico, Virginia.
