Trader Joe’s
As long as convenience stores have existed, there has always been tremendous competition in the industry. This is especially true in densely populated areas. During the summer of 1967, a guy named Joe Coulombe began stocking his store in Monrovia, California, with exotic food items and hard to come by to draw people away from 7-Eleven and into his establishment. His strategy was successful. Despite the fact that it became a household name, he sold the company in 1979. It is presently owned by Theo Albrecht, who also controls a large grocery chain in Germany known as Aldi Nord and other businesses. In addition to hailing from a wealthy family, he is estimated to have a net worth over $16 billion! Whoa.

Lucky Strike
There’s a strong sense that Lucky Strike, commonly known as Luckies, is the most widely used cigarette brand in the United States. People smoked the product during the 1930s and 1940s because the company had a successful marketing strategy. This was one of the factors that contributed to the brand becoming the best-selling cigarette brand at the time. In 1976, the corporation began doing business with British American Tobacco, which was based in the United Kingdom. The American Tobacco Corporation and its subsidiaries, Lucky Strike and Pall Mall, were purchased by the United Kingdom-based company in 1994. Despite the fact that it has undergone many transformations, it is still regarded as a distinctly American brand. This can be linked to the fact that it is prevalent in popular culture. The brand was prominently featured in the television show Mad Men!
