Founding and the origins of a company
Back in 1946, entrepreneur Howard Sanders founded Sanders Mining after he purchased a coal mine with inheritance from his wealthy uncle, Samuel Sanders. The success of the mine led Sanders to purchase a second mine, an iron mine located near his first one. When the mine was discovered to contain a large amount of diamond, Sanders became rich. Not wanting to stop there, he began purchasing competitors with the profits from the diamonds. As the company got bigger, they purchased more mines and more companies and by 1964, Sanders mining was the largest mining corporation in the company, controlling 40% of the nations mining. When the remaining competition refused to sell, Sanders decided to look to other industries to continue his company’s expansion. In 1966, he bought up a soda company from his hometown that he enjoyed as a child, G-Soda, and took it to the national level. Within four years marked by aggressive expansion, the newly named Sanders Enterprises controlled not only 52% of the nation’s mines, but every major restaurant and grocery store in the country sold G-Soda products.
Death of a visionary and the origins of today’s company
By 1970, Sanders Enterprises was one already a large and well known company nationwide. But that year, the company was changed by the tragic death of its founder, the now multi-millionaire Howard Sanders. When his son, Ritchie, took over, he made the fateful decision to change the name of the company. When the decision was finalized, Gordonopian Enterprises was born, and Sanders Mining was changed to Gordonopian Mining to match. Two years after Howard’s death, Imperial Hotels, one of the nation’s premier hotel chains was purchased. Following what his father had done with the original company, the hotel chain was expanded rapidly, causing it to become the second largest hotel chain by 1978. Not wanting to stop there, Ritchie began looking in to potential new divisions before finally settling on the locally successful fast food chain Megaburger. In 1982 the company had 70 successful restaurants. Ten years later there were over 1,500 Megaburger stores around the country. Before the 90’s began; Ritchie began looking into the budding Gordonopian Video Game Market. At the time, there was only one major console, the Adamian Savato. In 1987, Gordonopian Games, the first company created division, was launched and maintained a brief third party relationship with Adamian. Using the knowledge they gained from getting a look at Adamian’s next generation console, the Titri, they created a console of their own, the G-System; a 16 bit console that not only had superior capabilities then the Titri, but also had a lower price. It went on to sell over 37,000,000 units nationwide.
The 90’s becomes a decade of even greater expansion
By the time Ritchie died in 1991, Gordonopian Enterprises was the nation’s largest company. Ritchie’s son, Samuel, wanted to build on that success. Starting the year after his father’s death, Samuel made the 1990’s the decade of the company’s greatest expansion. He began by creating Gordonopian Global News, the country’s first all news channel. With large budgets and skilled reporters, the channel was the number one cable channel by 1998, when it left cable to broadcast to everyone. The next industry to be exploited by the company was the new mobile phone industry. Gordon Mobile was created, and when it was launched in 1996, it already had more coverage then any other existing company. Sales soared, and it became the nation’s largest carrier by 1999. Next up was the insurance industry, when the insurance giant GInsurance began looking for buyers after two poor years in a row. The company was purchased in 1998, and for ten years stayed a strong part of the company (GInsurance was sold off in 2008). The final expansion of the decade happened in 1999, when Deska Mart, a retail giant, was purchased by the conglomerate for a huge sum of money.
Into the new millennium and beyond
In 2004, Gordonopian Enterprises was larger then any other company in the nation. With more sales then even Gordonopian Arms, nothing could stop this industry giant. The company’s final acquisition before going global was Gordonopian Bank, a large banking company from Gordonopia City. Finally, in 2008, the company made the decision to go global. Five divisions, Gordonopian Games (selling its new Cronos Elite), Mega Burger (selling franchises), Gordonopian Global News (looking for new countries to broadcast to), G-Soda (distributing its products to supermarkets and restaurants), and Imperial Hotels (selling hotels to foreign companies) began opening up to global markets. The first few expansions were small, until the first major international division, Turkish-Gordonopian Enterprises, was created using all five divisions. Since the expansion, SuperBurger has been added to the list of divisions, and partnerships with many companies have been made. Where will Gordonopian Enterprises go next? No one knows.
