Below are a few companies that are affiliated and have changed names numerous times although they are the same company. If a company is doing well (i.e. Farmer’s Insurance Company) you want people to join the workforce, purchase a franchise and keep the same name. Ever wonder why the “same” company has so many different names? You be the judge.
If you have any information about other affiliated companies, please let me know so that I can add them.
