International companies that are no longer American

Ben & Jerry’s

Original Headquarters: South Burlington, Vermont
Purchased By: Unilever
Country: England

Ben & Jerry’s, AKA Ice cream company has named itself as a pop-culture staple. The brand is referenced in innumerable motion pictures and TV shows as one of America’s most beloved foods. The source story is sweet as well, with closest companions Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield opening their own parlor in 1978.

In 2000, Ben and Jerry’s declared it had been purchased by London-based aggregate Unilever. The arrangement was struck for $326 million, with Unilever being the most elevated bidder out of three unique organizations hoping to make the takeover. The buy assisted with boosting Unilever’s portfolio.

Burger King

Original Headquarters: Miami, Florida
Purchased By: Restaurant Brands International
Country: Canada

Fast food has long since been an institution in the United States, with many names, including Burger King, making a huge amount of profit. James McLamore and David Egerton first opened their store called “Insta Burger King” in Miami back in 1954. Little did they know they were creating an international brand. 

A little more than 10 years after the fact, Burger King was sold for the first time. From that point forward, it’s been claimed by a few organizations. Starting at 2020, Canadian organization Restaurant Brands International is the pleased owner of the Big Whopper, which converged with Tim Horton’s. BK despite everything gets monetary support from NYC’s 3G Capital.
