RC Willey
In 1954, William H. "Bill" Child took over the small 600 sq foot appliance store, from his father in law, RC Willey. The store, with cement floor and cinderblock walls had no bathroom facility and the electric power as well as a nine-party telephone line was run from the Willey home next door, with one employee, and $250,000 in sales. Forty years later, Bill sold RC Willey Home Furnishing to Warren Buffett, the second richest man in the world. RC Willey now has stores in Utah, Idaho, Nevada, and California with over 2,500 employees. Bill currently serves as Chairman of the Board.
