Jungle Island Corporate Office

Jungle Island

Jungle Island was founded in Pinecrest, Florida, in 1936 by Franz and Louise Sherr. It was purchased by Bern Levine in 1988. The original name was Parrot Island, but when the business moved to Watson Island in 2003, the name was changed. The company operates an interactive zoo and animal theme park.

The park sees approximately 450,000 visitors each year, including numerous celebrities and politicians, such as former US president Jimmy Carter, Winston Churchill, and Steven Spielberg. The park offers bird and animal shows, while preserving the natural habitat that the island represents. Jungle Island is involved with numerous non-profit organizations, including The Everglades Foundation.

Jungle Island was sold in late 2016 due to mounting debt problems. ESJ Capital Partners purchased the island for an undisclosed sum, including the $45 million in debt that the company currently owes. ESJ executives plan a major overhaul of the park over the next two years, adding children’s rides, a private beach available for rent, and zip lines.

National Car Rental Corporate Office

National Car Rental

National Car Rental was founded when 24 independent rental car agents decided to create a co-op in 1947. The company operates a chain of car rental locations and is currently owned by Enterprise Rent a Car (Enterprise Holdings, Inc.)

History

As of 2005, the company had grown to more than 2,000 locations in the US and internationally. The company introduced a mobile phone app for frequent users to make reservations and cancellations easier. The Emerald Club is a loyalty program which enables customers to bypass the counter and choose any car designated as an Emerald Club Car.

National Car Rental recently partnered with Asia Miles, the leading travel reward program in Asia. This allows clients to add to their frequent flier miles when renting from National.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, car rental companies, such as National, cut back on car inventory. In March 2021, the new demand for rental vehicles has now caused a backlog and outrageous price increases.

National Car Rental maintains a corporate office in St. Louis, Missouri.

Flamingo Gardens Corporate Office

Flamingo Gardens

Flamingo Gardens began as Flamingo Groves, a citrus orchard, in 1927 by Floyd and Jane Wray. The couple purchased 320 acres and believed that the climate was perfect for citrus fruit. The farm began receiving plants from other parts of the world and the Wrays created a garden, which they invited the public to enjoy.

Today, Flamingo Gardens is a non-profit botanical garden, wildlife sanctuary, and aviary. The Wray’s home operates as a museum, unchanged since the late 1930’s. Guided tours are offered daily for a small fee. Flamingos nest among the trees, and Mrs. Wray introduced peacocks in the 1940’s.

Flamingo Gardens is one of the last natural growth jungles in Southern Florida. The park boasts that there are 3,000 tropical trees and subtropical trees, as well as the wildlife sanctuary, which is home to 90 native species.
