Michael Quine/Las Vegas Review-Journal @Vegas88s A 25-foot fish tank has brought new peacefulness to the workers of online retailer Zappos and new service for the Las Vegas manufacturer behind the tank. Ever because Zappos, headquartered in downtown Las Vegas, and its fish tank appeared on the
Animal Planet TELEVISION show”Tanked”recently, the tank maker has actually fielded about 20 ask for smaller sized versions. “Everybody’s discussing it, “stated Wayde King, CEO of Las Vegas Valley-based Acrylic Tank Production. The Zappos episode aired Dec. 15. The tank surrounds 4 reclining chair massage chairs and holds 3,500 gallons of saltwater for over 200 fish, according to Zappos’ site. The business has about 1,500 staff members.
Moving the tank without splitting it was one of the hardest parts of the project, King said. The Zappos tank expense about $250,000. King sells a less costly design that surrounds one chair instead of four. That a person expenses about $70,000.
In October, the city issued a permit that details about $300,000 worth of work preparing the 500-square-foot nap space for the fish tank. Zappos is near the crossway of Stewart Opportunity and Las Vegas Boulevard.
Zappos spent eight weeks adjusting its downtown headquarters for the aquarium, according to the business’s website.
Zappos has actually made cots, pods and sofas readily available for worker naps for years, according to its site.
The business, owned by e-commerce giant Amazon, is known for a wacky business culture that consists of virtual reality trips offered to the public and requiring all workers, including its CEO and CFO, to work for a time in the call center.”One of our concepts is constantly attempt to do something initially, unique or best,” Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh said on “Tanked.” “I think this covers all three.”
