Harbor Freight Tools

Harbor Freight Tools was founded in 1977 by Eric and Allan Smidt in North Hollywood, California. The original location was a very small building, with the name Harbor Freight Salvage. As the company expanded and grew, Eric became CEO and changed the name in 1985.

History

Today, Harbor Freight Tools has more than 700 locations in 47 states, as well as an eCommerce site. From the original two employees, the company now has more than 17,000 full time employees. US General, another mail order tool supplier, was acquired in the mid-1980’s. The company now has headquarters in Camarrillo, California.

Harbor Freight Tools is a discount tool supplier, as well as offering other kinds of equipment, depending on the location, such as farm tools. The company sells many of its own in house store brands such as Chicago Electric, Portland, and Earthquake.

In October 2019, Harbor Freight recalled one million pocketknives due to an issue with the lock when the blade was retracted.

The coronavirus of 2020 has been a crash for some businesses and a boon for others, such as Harbor Freight. Long lines and empty shelves for facemasks, an item Harbor Freight usually stocks, along with bottled water, and packaged snacks.

Shop ‘N Save Market Corporate Office

Shop 'N Save Market

Shop ‘N Save Market was founded in Belleville, Illinois, in 1979. Formerly a part of the SuperValu chain, Shop ‘N Save is now independently owned, with more than 44 locations throughout Missouri and Illinois. The company has headquarters in Kirkwood, Missouri.

History

While SuperValu supplied many family-owned stores, it has had difficulty in recent years, keeping up with the competition from Walmart and Giant Eagle. Its decision to sell off some of the Shop ‘N Save markets was not an easy one, says a company spokesperson.

St. Nicks Christmas Store Corporate Office

St. Nicks Christmas Store

Founded in 1976, St. Nicks Christmas Store was the idea of Shawn Sealy, who loves Christmas and wanted a store that would bring the holiday to life every day of the year. The company is open all except for the first six weeks of the year. This gives employees time to overhaul the theme rooms, restock, and redecorate.

St. Nicks Christmas Store receives approximately 80 percent of its business between Halloween and New Years. Even in July and August, however, Sealy, who continues to be the sole owner of the company, receives about 80 visitors a day. Chris Davis is the visual designer for the more than 100 themed Christmas trees and 22 rooms.

The company has considered expansion plans, although no set date has been scheduled for this.

Biblio.Com Corporate Office

Biblio.Com

Biblio was founded in 2000 by current CEO Brendan Sherar. The company was originally a price comparison search engine. In 2003, the company changed direction and retired the search engine in favor of an online used book store, with their main focus out of print or hard to find books.

In 2008, Biblio overhauled not on the site, but the way in which books are tagged for searching purposes. The company introduced SOLR, a super fast search engine to provide access to the company’s 60 million book titles. The company has a three way agreement between Biblioposis and ABBA. This four year agreement, signed in April of 2009, allows the ABBA eCommerce site clients access to the Biblio search engine.

Biblio is the first online book seller to offer carbon free shipping. Through the Ecosend program, Biblio purchases carbon offsets for every shipment of books it sends.
