It was founded in 1740 on the bank of the Molendinar Burn by Hugh and Robert Tennent. It is owned by C&C Group plc, which purchased the Tennent Caledonian Breweries subsidiary in late August 2009 from Belgian brewing company Anheuser-Busch InBev (formerly known as InBev).
The company produces Tennent's Lager, Scotland's market leading brand of pale lager since it was first produced at the Wellpark Brewery in 1885.
If you like what you see - why not chip in to buy me a coffee! https://ift.tt/SoaOGi1 Lastman’s Bad Boy was a Canadian discount furniture and appliance retailer founded in Toronto in 1955 by Mel Lastman and made famous by its loud, deliberately abrasive television and radio commercials and the iconic catchphrase “Who’s better than Bad Boy? Nooobody!” The chain built its brand on aggressive pricing, no-frills showrooms, and shock-value advertising that made it a pop-culture fixture in Ontario media, while also helping propel Mel Lastman to prominence and later a successful political career as mayor of Toronto. Despite its strong brand recognition and expansion across Ontario, the company struggled in a challenging retail environment marked by high interest rates and a slowdown in housing-related spending, and in November 2023 it sought bankruptcy protection and began liquidating inventory under court supervision. After failing to secure a viable restructuring plan, Lastman’s Bad Boy was declared bankrupt in early 2024, leading to the permanent closure of all its stores and the sale of assets to repay creditors, marking the end of one of Canada’s most recognizable retail and advertising brands.
