Christian Book Distributors Corporate Office

Christian Book Distributors was founded in 1978 by brothers, Ray and Stephen Hendrickson. The brothers were still teenagers when they began selling academic books out of their parents home to pastors and bible school study programs.

By 1981, business was booming and the company moved their headquarters out of the family garage and into a brick and mortar store in Peabody, Massachusetts. In the late 1980’s, the company had 90 employees and expanded their store to 52,000 square feet. Internet sales began in 1996, which forced the staff to be increased to 320 employees.

Today, Christian Book Distributors has more than 500 employees. In 2008, the company made a partnership with Focus on the Family to handle their e-Commerce site, as well as to increase distribution. The Boston Globe placed Christian Book Distributors as #22 on their list of Top 100 Places to work in Massachusetts.

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.
