ModCloth Corporate Office

ModCloth was founded in 2002 by Susan and Eric Koger in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Working out of their college dorm at first, the company offered pre-owned, vintage (sometimes referred to as Retro) dresses online. By 2009, the company had $15 million in revenue.

Today, the company has headquarters in San Francisco and two locations, in Los Angeles, and San Francisco, as well as their eCommerce site and pop up stores in many malls in large cities.  The company offers women’s clothing, including retro clothing, and a few home decor items. The company is well known for using programs such as “Make the Cut” where customer ideas are turned into products, as well as using their own employees to model swimwear.

In 2015, ModCloth removed the words “Plus Size” from their items and rebranded them as “Extended Sizes” and placed items in with the regular sized clothing, since more than two thirds of customers stated that they were embarrassed to have to shop in a separate plus sized section.

History

Gump’s Corporate Office

Gump’s of San Francisco traces its roots back to 1861, when the Gump brothers, Solomon and Gustav, opened a mirror and frame shop. The company later added gilded frames and artwork, designed for those who hit it big during the California Gold Rush. The original store was destroyed by the earthquake in 1906, but the sale of a single painting allowed the company to rebuild and restock.

Today, Gump’s belongs to an investment group, Gump’s Holdings, to whom it was sold in 2005. The company continues to sell upscale furniture, home decor, jewelry, gifts, and cultured freshwater pearls. The only thing not for sale in the store is a giant gilded wooden Buddah, from the Quing Dynasty, carved sometime in the early 19th century.

In addition to home decor items, the company also sells business furnishings. There are still paper catalogs, as well as an extensive eCommerce site.

Earth Fare Corporate Office

Earth Fare was founded in 1975 by Roger Derrough in Asheville, North Carolina. Originally called Dinner for the Earth, the company changed its name in 1993. The original store offered organic food items in bulk, with no meat or dairy products, along with handmade organic “wellness” items, such as herbal remedies.

Today, Earth Fare acts as a full-service chain of organic supermarkets, offering organic produce, organic health, and beauty items, organic and grass-fed meats, and eggs from free-range chickens. The company has 20 locations in 8 states and over 2,500 full-time employees.

The company named a new CEO in October of 2015, Frank Scorpiniti, who has tasked the company with opening 12 new locations by the end of 2016. The 38th location opened in August of 2015. Some employees have voiced complaints on social media sites that this rapid growth is making the company a less enjoyable place to work.

In February 2020, Earth Fare filed for bankruptcy protection and stated that it would possibly go out of business. 

After initially closing all locations, the company was able to reopen approximately 20 locations open as of 2021.

In June 2022, the company opened a new location in Cleveland, Ohio, while simultaneously closing a different location in Cleveland. 

Earth Fare maintains a corporate office in Asheville, North Carolina.
