Ben & Jerry’s
Over the years, this ice cream company has established itself as a pop-culture institution. Ben & Jerry’s ice cream has been featured in numerous television shows and films due to its popularity as one of the most beloved foods in the United States. In 1978, a pair of best friends named Jerry Greenfield, and Ben Cohen opened an ice cream parlor in Vermont called Greenfield & Cohen. Things began to alter in 2000 when Unilever purchased the company for an incredible 326 million dollar sum. According to the Financial Times, the London-based multinational was the highest bidder out of three corporations interested in acquiring the ice cream maker. This turned out to be a fantastic option because it contributed to the improvement of Unilever’s portfolio.

Burger King
When most people think of fast food, they automatically think of the United States. There are a plethora of locally owned and operated businesses, and Burger King is one of them. In 1954, David Egerton and James McLamore built the first “Insta Burger King” establishment in Miami, Florida, “Insta Burger King.” They had no clue that it would grow to be a well-known brand throughout the world. A decade later, they were able to sell the company for the first time ever. Since then, it has been owned by several different individuals. It is currently under the ownership of a Canadian corporation known as Restaurant Brands International. 3G Capital, based in New York City, continues to provide financial support to BK.
