Back in 1976, Steve Jobs' parents' garage in Silicon Valley played a role in the early stages of Apple. However, Jobs and his co-founder, Steve Wozniak, quickly outgrew the space, Wozniak told Bloomberg Businessweek.
According to a Washington Post article, Wozniak has dubbed the idea that Apple was "founded" in a garage "a bit of a myth," but he also admitted that the garage is part of the company's story.
In 2014, he told Businessweek, "The garage represents us better than anything else, but we did no designs there. We would drive the finished products to the garage, make them work and then we'd drive them down to the store that paid us cash."
The garage — which is attached to Jobs' childhood home in Los Altos, California — has since been designated as a historic site.
Today, Apple is worth about $1.2 trillion with retail stores in 25 countries. As of 2019, the company employed about 137,000 people around the world.
