King Taco Corporate Office

King Taco

King Taco was founded in 1974 by Raul Martinez. He began the business by selling tacos out of an old ice cream truck that he had renovated. The business was so successful that within 6 months, Martinez opened his first restaurant in Cypress Park, California. A second location followed the next year on East 3rd Street in East Los Angeles.

History

King Taco now has 20 restaurants throughout Southern California including Los Angeles and San Bernardino Counties. The company prides itself on opening a new location every other year.

King Taco offers authentic Mexican food including sopes, carnitas, tacos, and al pastor tacos. Chicharron tacos are quickly becoming a favorite in Los Angeles.

The founder, Raul Martinez, passed away in December of 2013 but the business is carried on by Raul Martinez Jr.

My Pillow Corporate Office

My Pillow

My Pillow was founded in 2004 by Michael J. Lindell, who is the inventor of the patented My Pillow product. Lindelll states that he invested 10 years of time researching sleep problems and more than 94 pillow designs before he invented his currently patented open cell, poly-foam pillow design.

History

To fund this company, Lindell sold 4 bars that he previously owned in Minnesota. In the beginning, Lindell sewed each pillow by hand and had family members working for the company. Today, the company has more than 650 employees.

My Pillow began running 30 minute infomercials in October of 2011 and sales began to increase dramatically. Lindell says that his company has sold more than 1 million pillows to date. His infomerical is still being shown at least 181 times each day throughout America.

The company also offers sheet sets, as well as pillow cases for its product.

In 2020, CEO and founder Mike Lindell stated that he backed then president Trump and believed that the election had been stolen from Trump, and other conspiracy theories such as the Covid 19 vaccine being the “Mark of the Beast.

He subsequently put out a film that supposedly backs up these claims. The film has been denounced as having no merit due to a lack of evidence. 

Voting machine manufacturer Dominion stated in February 2021 that they would sue Mike Lindell if he did not desist from making false claims about their machines.

The company started off doing telephone sales only and in 2012, Lindell opened his first retail store in Burnsville, Minnesota. My Pillow now has 7 stores in 5 states.

Bed Bath & Beyond, Kohls, and Wayfair have all dropped My Pillow from stores in January 2021, due to Lindell’s conspiracy claims. 

In June 2022, Walmart also pulled My Pillow from all locations.
