Kars4Kids Corporate Office

Kars4Kids

Kars4Kids was founded in 1995 by Eliyohu Mintz and his father, Rabbi Chaim Mintz.  

The company operates a non-profit organization that accepts used cars as donations and then resells the vehicles for cash.

The company states that its mission is “to fund educational, developmental and recreational programs for low-income youth” through programs largely facilitated by its sister charity  Oorah, which focuses on Jewish children and families.

History

Although not heavily advertised, the company also accepts real estate, yachts, boats, and motorhomes. On average, the company receives about 40,000 cars each year.

Kars4Kids offers financial assistance to students to help pay for private school tuition and testing for GED. The organization also sponsors a youth program known as Chillzone, an after-school program teaching Jewish culture and moral values.

Kars4Kids also sponsors the summer camp TheZone, which operates Jewish sleepaway camps.

They also offer small grants to other nonprofit organizations, such as Girls on the Run International. In 2016, Kars4Kids donated $5,000 to this organization.

In 2011, the company donated hundreds of coats to give away in the city of Newark, New Jersey.

The company faces frequent criticism for not disclosing its religious roots. The company never mentions Jewish children or any religion in its advertisements.

In 2017, a Minnesota Judge discovered that less than 1% of donations actually reach children in Minnesota.

Kars4Kids maintains a corporate office in Lakewood, New Jersey.

HootSuite Corporate Office

HootSuite

Hootsuite was founded in 2008 by Ryan Holmes. The company operates a social media management platform. As of 2021, the company has more than 16 million users in over 175 countries.

Holmes wanted a tool that would help him manage multiple social media networks at his digital services agency, Invoke Media. 

After finding that there was no product in the market offering all the features he sought, Holmes, along with Dario Meli, David Tedman, and the Invoke team, chose instead to develop a platform of their own that would be able to organize their many social media accounts and networks.

History

In December 2009, Hootsuite spun off from Invoke Media and launched officially as an independent company, Hootsuite Media, Inc.

In February 2017, Hootsuite announced its acquisition of AdEspresso, a digital advertisement manager, and LiftMetrix, a leading social media analytics company.

In September 2020, Hootsuite came under widespread criticism over its agreement with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) , which was made just weeks after allegations of forced hysterectomies at ICE detention centers surfaced.

 Following public pressure, the company stated that it had backed out of the deal, and posted a lengthy statement from CEO Tom Keiser to their official Twitter account that expressed regret over the internal divisions that the contract had created within the company.

Despite this public distancing from its earlier decision, over the next several weeks the company terminated numerous employees who had acted as whistleblowers in bringing the contract’s existence to light, sparking further public outrage and condemnation.

Hootsuite maintains a corporate office in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

Tudor’s Biscuit World Corporate Office

Tudor's Biscuit World

Tudor’s Biscuit World was the original idea and concept of Bill and Mae Tudor and their son John Tudor. The first location was opened in 1980 in Charleston, West Virginia.

The company is a franchised restaurant chain that offers freshly baked biscuits in a variety of ways. Some of Tudor’s locations are shared with Gino’s East Pizza chain.

There are currently 70 franchised locations, mainly in West Virginia, but also in Florida, Kentucky, and Ohio.

History

In late 2021, some locations in West Virginia began organizing unions in hopes of better wages. The company is pushing back against unionization, saying it offered higher than minimum wages.

In early 2022, the union push was given a NO vote and a few employees stated that they were fired for voting yes.

In August 2023, the company gave a donation of more than $42,000 to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
