7-Eleven began in 1927 as an ice vendor in Dallas, Texas called Southland Ice Company. It eventually started selling food items like bread, milk, and eggs, which led to the first convenience stores. The name changed to 7-Eleven in 1946 to reflect the extended hours from 7 am to 11 pm. 7-Eleven grew rapidly in the following decades, pioneering ideas like 24/7 stores and to-go coffee. While it started in the US, it now has a significant global presence with stores in many countries. The stores sell a variety of products including snacks, beverages, prepared foods, and gasoline.

Nothing Bundt Cakes was founded in 1997 by Dena Tripp and Debbie Shwetz, who began baking Bundt cakes in their home kitchens in Las Vegas, Nevada. Their early success with family and friends led to growing demand, ultimately forming the foundation for what would become a national specialty bakery brand. Over time, the company expanded beyond its origins, developing standardized recipes, décor, and operational systems to support franchised and corporate bakery locations across North America. Headquartered in Addison, Texas, the company focuses on producing handcrafted Bundt cakes made with traditional ingredients such as real eggs, butter, and cream cheese. Nothing Bundt Cakes is privately held and has grown significantly since its founding, becoming one of the leading specialty cake bakery concepts in the United States. The brand continues to evolve through new flavors, product lines, and strategic expansion across U.S. and Canadian markets.
