Kinney Parking Company was a New Jersey parking lot company owned by Manny Kimmel, Sigmund Dornbusch and mob figure Abner Zwillman. Prior to its public listing in 1960, it merged with a funeral home company Riverside and that eventually transformed itself into Warner Communications, a precursor to today's Time Warner media empire[1].

The company expanded into car-rentals, office cleaning firms and construction companies. Steve Ross joined after marrying Carol Rosenthal, the Riverside owner Edward Rosenthal's daughter and pursued an aggressive expansion of the company's properties.

Kinney merged with the National Cleaning Company in 1966 to form Kinney National Company, headed by Ross.
