American Apparel
American Apparel was fast on the rise and up until the mid 2010’s was one of the most popular clothing brands in the country. Its tagline of: “Made in USA, Sweasthop free,” was especially appealing to customers. However, by 2015, the company began to unravel. In 2017, it was purchased by Canadian company Gildan Activewear for $88 million, which is why the brand has survived until now.
7-Eleven
7-Eleven is one of the most popular convenience stores in the country, and though it was founded in Dallas, Texas, it was purchased by Japanese company Ito-Yokado and its parent company Seven & i Holdings. The company was especially affected by the financial crash in 1987, so the acquisition truly saved this convenience store chain.
