Harborwalk Scoops and Bites Ice Cream Corporate Office

Harborwalk Scoops and Bites

Harborwalk Scoops and Bites was founded in 2010 by husband and wife team Ron and Claudia Thomas. The couple wanted a family ice cream shop that was fun and exciting. Ron Thomas enjoys creating ice cream flavors and giving them unique names, such as Caramoo Tracks and Monkey Business.

Unlike many ice cream shops, Harborwalk Scoops and Bites is open every day, except Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. In addition to handmade ice cream, the company offers a wide variety of old fashioned sodas that are rarely seen, such as Nehi’s, A&W Root Beer, and Sioux City Sarsparilla. The company has both indoor and outdoor seating available.

Harborwalk Scoops and Bites was recently named #1 Ice Cream Shop in the USA by TripAdvisor.Com.

History

Halloween Club Corporate Office

Halloween Club

Halloween Club was founded in 1994 by cousins Babloo Sawhney and Jack Bhasin. After opening a department store called Aah’s, the pair noticed that there was big demand for Halloween items, not only at Halloween, but most of the year. This inspired the pair to open their own company, First Imperial Trading Company, and Halloween Club was born.

History

The company currently has two locations, one in La Mirada, the other in Montebello, California.

There is also an extensive online selection. Each store has thousands of costumes, masks, make up, and accessories, as well as Halloween decorations for the home. Many of the costumes are manufactured by the company and are sold under the “Straight From the Grave” label.

Halloween Club maintains a corporate office in Santa Monica, California.

Beacon Drive-In Corporate Office

Beacon Drive-In

The Beacon Drive-In was founded in Spartanburg, South Carolina, by John White. He wanted a restaurant that offered home cooked flavors, but with the convenience of drive-in service. Today, Beacon Drive-In is known as the restaurant that serves more Southern style sweet tea than any other restaurant in America.

In addition to the large red and white striped light house sign, the company is best known for its unique food, including a chili cheese hamburger that includes onion rings, French fries, and smothered in chili, The Pigs Dinner, and BBQ hash. The company still offers car side service, but no longer features waitresses on roller skates.

Spartanburg renamed the street that Beacon Drive-in is located on to honor the founder, John B. White, Sr. The restaurant was purchased by a group of 6 businessmen, including current CEO Steve Duncan, in 1998 from Mr. White when he retired.

It’s parent company announced that they were revitalizing all Randalls stores with more “lifestyle” features, such as pharmacies, in store bakeries, film processing, eat in or take and bake pizzas and pasta dishes, to go salad bars, and full service bank branches.

While most grocery stores remained closed during hurricane Ike’s devastation in 2008, Randalls was one of the first to reopen. Even though the Galveston location received heavy water damage, the store reopened very quickly and offered basic supplies to residents, such as water and gasoline.

Matco Tools Corporate Office

Matco Tools

Matco Tools was founded in 1946. The company manufactures tools for automotive and diesel professionals. Like Snap On and Cornwell, Matco (which is an acronym for Mac Allied Tool Company) offers a lifetime warranty on hand tools. Matco has been criticized for contracting with machinists in China to manufacture some of their tools.

The company originally made tool boxes, but sold off the tool box division in 1979. The company uses franchisers to sell their tools from trucks. Each franchiser has his own territory, very much like Snap on and Mac tools. Most franchisers offer no interest financing to their customers.

Matco Tools has mobile franchisers in Canada, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. The company operates as a subsidiary of Danaher Corporation.
