Ben & Jerry’s
This ice cream company has earned a reputation as a cultural icon throughout the years. Ben & Jerry’s ice cream is so well-known in the United States that it has appeared in numerous television shows and films. Jerry Greenfield and Ben Cohen, two Vermont friends, founded the ice cream business in 1978. In 2000, Unilever purchased it for a cool $326 million, and everything changed. The London-based company outbid two other possible bids for the ice cream producer. Unilever’s portfolio grew as a result of this activity, demonstrating that it was a wise investment.

Burger King
When most people think of fast food, they think of the United States. Burger King is one of many franchises that are independently owned and operated. David Egerton and James McLamore launched the first “Insta Burger King” in Miami, Florida, in 1954, with the help of a business partner. They had no clue it would become a worldwide brand. After ten years, they decided to leave the firm. It was afterward held by a number of different people. It is currently owned by Restaurant Brands International, a Canadian corporation. 3G Capital of New York continues to provide financial support to BK.
