Company to Trade on Nasdaq Under New Ticker: HQI

Command Center, Inc. (Nasdaq: CCNI), a national provider of on-demand and temporary staffing solutions, today announced it has received Nasdaq approval to continue its Nasdaq listing under the name HireQuest, Inc. and to trade its common stock under a new ticker symbol. Effective September 11, 2019, at the opening of trading, the Company will trade on Nasdaq as HireQuest, Inc., under the ticker “HQI”. Command Center and Hire Quest Holdings, LLC completed their merger in July of this year, and the name and ticker changes are part of a corporate and franchise rebranding strategy by the company. Also effective September 11, Command Center will change its state of incorporation from Washington to Delaware, and its corporate name will become HireQuest, Inc. (“HireQuest”). These actions were approved by shareholders at the company’s 2019 Annual Meeting of Shareholders on July 10, 2019.

“While Hire Quest has traditionally operated under the names Trojan Labor and Acrux Staffing, we see the culmination of the merger with Command Center as the opportune time to place all operations under the common banner of HireQuest,” commented Rick Hermanns, the company’s president and chief executive officer. “We are confident this name will quickly become recognized throughout the industry as a provider of quality staffing services and good employment opportunities.”
