Sainsbury PLC is a public limited company: which means the shares are traded on the London Stock Market. Anyone can buy shares in the company. No Sainsbury's has never changed hands, but of course, the share owners at a point in time are always different. Many large institutions are shareholders in the company.

A Chain is owned by a single company where as franchise rights are purchased by people.  Hence, Pizza Hut (a franchize) stores aren't owned by Pizza Hut headquarters, but they take a percentage of the profits from each of the Pizza Hut store owners.  Which means that both you and I can buy the rights to open our own Pizza Hut.

Actually, RCA (and GE) appliances are no longer owned by GE.  GE got out of the appliance business some time ago, and sold the brand names to Thomson Consumer Electronics.  Thomson is a well-known brand in the European Union, but still uses the old established brand names in the US (RCA and GE). \n\nThe link below will show you all of the sub-brands actually still owned by General Electric.  It's interesting to note that more than one-half of the company's business is now in the financial services market.  They've diversified quite a bit from the days when they made lightbulbs, wouldn't you say?

I am a business librarian, so I took a look in Hoovers business database to find an answer to your question.\n\nHere is a detailed article that explains the relationship between Unilever and Ben and Jerry's:\n\nBACKGROUND\n---------------\n\nBen & Jerry's Homemade Inc. is a wholly owned, autonomous subsidiary of Unilever. The quirky ice cream maker sells its frozen novelties-including such flavors as Cherry Garcia, Chunky Monkey and Karamel Sutra-through its 230 corporate-owned and franchise "scoop shops" as well as supermarkets in 10 countries. \n\nFounders Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield opened their first ice cream parlor in a renovated gas station in Burlington, Vermont, in 1978. The first franchise followed in 1981, and in 1984 the company went public. In 1985, the Ben & Jerry's Foundation was formed to give 7.5 percent of annual pretax profits to community building projects. Unilever bought the company in 2000 for $326 million. The deal allows Ben & Jerry's to continue its social missions and keep both co-founders involved. Walt Freese, who joined Ben & Jerry's in 2001, has overall responsibility for managing Ben & Jerry's marketing, international, retail operations and human resources. He reports to Eric Walsh, chairman of Unilever's North American ice cream group. \n\nTHE UNILEVER / BEN & JERRY'S CONNECTION\n------------------------------...\n\nWhen co-founder Cohen told The Wall Street Journal in 2000 that "quirky brands don't usually do well as part of large conglomerates," he probably echoed the fears of many in the company. But Unilever's offer was too lucrative for shareholders to turn down. Fortunately for Ben & Jerry's, Unilever-which is the world's biggest ice cream maker-isn't the most conventional outfit, either. \n\nFormed from a 1930 merger between British and Dutch companies, until recently it maintained dual chairmen in both countries. Unilever didn't want to change Ben & Jerry's culture radically. \n\n"I think everyone realized from Day One that we were not buying a typical business," Kolstad says. "If we wanted the brand to continue to grow and be vibrant, we'd have to maintain the culture that made them what they are." \n\nTo show its support for Ben & Jerry's social mission, Unilever committed at least $1.1 million a year to charitable causes selected by the employees. It also made a $5 million one-time grant to the Ben & Jerry's Foundation, a separate entity that continues to fund causes such as nonviolence training for protest groups. \n\nUnilever aroused some anxiety in November 2000 when it appointed Yves Couette, a veteran Unilever executive who previously had been posted in Mexico and India, as the new CEO. (Cohen publicly supported another candidate, longtime company director Pierre Ferrari.) \n\nBut it was six months before Couette reported for work, and that gave employees time to prepare. When he arrived in January 2001, the workforce was ready for him, Williams says. They greeted the French native in berets and dark glasses and played Edith Piaf songs on the public-address system. \n\nIn the company cafeteria, they built a replica of the Eiffel Tower from pint packages of Ben & Jerry's ice cream. Behind the frivolity, there was an implicit message. \n\n"The challenge for us in the merger was to keep being who we were," Williams says. "So we had to turn up the volume, to let them experience us." \n\nThat sentiment also came across when Couette sent Ben & Jerry's employees off to a daylong meeting at a local hotel, where they went through the standard Unilever exercise of creating a "brand key." The goal was to identify the essence of the company brand and how marketing should flow from it. Ben & Jerry's workforce returned from an off-site meeting and presented Couette with a brand key called "Joy for the Belly and Soul," illustrate

In the UK they have the same packaging and product names, but the brand name isn't schick, it's "Wilkinson Sword" - they were founded there in 1772, so presumably it's them.
