Kinney System Holding Corporation (founded as Kinney Parking System Inc; shortened to Kinney System Inc.) was a parking company with prominent operations throughout the Northeastern United States. It was established in New Jersey by Manny Kimmel and was managed his son, Caesar Kimmel. After merging with several companies in the 1960s, Kinney became a subsidiary of Kinney Services and later National Kinney. After being spun off in 1986,[2] Kinney System once again became an independent company and was the then-largest publicly held parking company in the United States, being run by Lewis Katz. In the late 1990s, it was acquired by Central Parking Corporation and Kinney as brand was retired by the early 21st Century.
History
Kinney Parking Company was incorporated in 1945 by Manny Kimmel. In 1961, Kinney reached an agreement with Abbey Rent-A-Car (founded by Edward Rosenthal) whereby Abbey customers would park for free at Kinney lots in exchange for a 25% ownership interest in Abbey.[3]
