Sunglass Hut

Sunglass Hut is the finest location to shop for many American eyewear enthusiasts. From tinted shades to clear spectacles, the firm has everything you need. It operates in South Africa, India, the United Kingdom, and other countries. Despite this, the firm began in Miami, Florida, with the idea of an ophthalmologist named Sanford Ziff. The firm was sold five years after it opened its 100th site in 1986. Luxottica purchased it for $653 million in 2001. There were about 1,300 shops in operation at the time. There are approximately 2,000 shops throughout the world right now!

Motorola

Motorola, most known for its technology products, began in Schaumburg, Illinois, long before we were even aware of the notion of mobile phones. It grew steadily after its introduction in 1928, reaching its pinnacle of success with flip phones and other similar devices. It was eventually purchased by Google, but in 2014 it was sold to Lenovo, a Chinese business. Since buying the firm for $12 billion two years before selling it for $2.9 billion, this has not proven to be a successful decision for Google. People are still perplexed as to why Google seems content to lose $10 billion on this acquisition.
