Trader Joe’s
There has always been fierce competition when it comes to the convenience store sector. This is even truer in more populated spaces. In 1967, a man called Joe Coulombe began to stock food items that were unusual and rare to entice customers to ditch 7-Eleven and instead go to his store in Monrovia, California. His plan worked. Even though it went on to a big name, he sold the company in 1979. It is now owned by Theo Albrecht, who also owns a huge supermarket chain called Aldi Nord in Germany. He comes from a wealthy family and is believed to have a net worth of more than $16 billion! Whoa.

Lucky Strike
It feels like Lucky Strike, also known as Luckies, is the most popular American cigarette brand out there. In the ‘30s and ‘40s, people smoked the product because it had such a strong marketing plan. This was the reason the brand became the best-selling cigarette brand back then. In 1976, the company started its business relationship with a company called British American Tobacco. In 1994, the UK company purchased the American Tobacco Company and its subsidiaries, Lucky Strike and Pall Mall. Even though it has gone through a number of changes, it is still considered to be a quintessentially American brand. This can be attributed to its presence in pop culture. The brand was heavily featured in Mad Men!
