AOL Canada Commercial 2001

AOL (stylized as Aol., formerly a company known as AOL Inc. and originally known as America Online) is an American web portal and online service provider based in New York City. It is a brand marketed by the current incarnation of Yahoo! Inc..

The service traces its history to an online service known as PlayNET. PlayNET licensed its software to Quantum Link (Q-Link), who went online in November 1985. A new IBM PC client launched in 1988, eventually renamed as America Online in 1989. AOL grew to become the largest online service, displacing established players like CompuServe and The Source. By 1995, AOL had about three million active users.

AOL was one of the early pioneers of the Internet in the mid-1990s, and the most recognized brand on the web in the United States. It originally provided a dial-up service to millions of Americans, as well as providing a web portal, e-mail, instant messaging and later a web browser following its purchase of Netscape. In 2001, at the height of its popularity, it purchased the media conglomerate Time Warner in the largest merger in U.S. history. AOL rapidly shrank thereafter, partly due to the decline of dial-up and rise of broadband AOL was eventually spun off from Time Warner in 2009, with Tim Armstrong appointed the new CEO. Under his leadership, the company invested in media brands and advertising technologies.

On June 23, 2015, AOL was acquired by Verizon Communications for $4.4 billion. On May 3, 2021, Verizon announced it would sell Yahoo and AOL to private equity firm Apollo Global Management for $5 billion.

The Mufflerman Commercial 2005

From the company website:

John Brouwer, immigrated with his family from The Netherlands in the early 1950’s. In the early days, John had many jobs. He worked at the CNR Railroad, Purity Dairy, his own 7UP business in Lambton County, and at Cor Car Auto Sales in Sarnia selling, painting and repairing cars. The Mufflerman was a part of this business.

Destined to be an entrepreneur, in 1964, John purchased The Mufflerman name and moved it to a small, two-bay garage that would become Sarnia’s “First Exclusive Muffler Shop.” In 1967, he purchased property at 759 Exmouth Street and built a new, modern shop that The Mufflerman could call home.

He opened a second location in Stratford in 1971 and grew it to 12 company-owned and operated locations in Southwestern Ontario. Although his success as a businessman is evident today, John maintained a very down-to-earth approach to life. Lending a helping hand to people who needed it was something he truly enjoyed doing, and this eventually led him to start his own foundation, The John Brouwer Foundation.

In 1996 John retired, passing the business over to his four sons and nephew, who continuously maintained complete oversight of every aspect of the business to ensure our customers receive the best quality, the best service and advice you can trust. Quality, Service, and Trust (QST) are all concepts that John implemented and that our customers will experience every time they visit us at The Mufflerman.  

 

As of March 2021, the company is under new management and is committed to carry forward the same core values and traditions that make The Mufflerman the best place to service your vehicle.
