Heilig-Meyers was founded in 1913, when W. A. Heilig and J. M. Meyers opened a home-furnishings store in Goldsboro, North Carolina. The brand group has collectively conducted over $50 billion in transactions since inception. The Heilig-Meyers Co., which at its peak in the late 1990s had more than $2.7 billion in annual revenue, with nearly 1,300 stores in 38 states, in 1986 it became the largest publicly traded home-furnishings retailer in the United States. It passed the $1 billion mark in annual revenues in 1994. Most of these were in small towns more than 25 miles from a metropolitan market. Founded in 1875, furniture retailer Rhodes Inc. became one of the largest furniture retailers in the United States. By 1996, with its acquisition of several smaller chains in various parts of the country, it held fourth place among U.S. furniture stores. Ultimately, Rhodes would become a subsidiary of the second largest chain of furniture retailers, Heilig-Meyers Company. Added to its $844 million in annual sales, the acquisition of Rhodes, with $430 million, would catapult Heilig-Meyers into first place.

IMASCO Ltd. was formed to hold Grand Metropolitan's liquor and tobacco assets. The group is the largest of it's kind in the world. United Cigar Stores was the largest chain of cigar stores in the United States. Though initially specializing in cigars, it eventually sold many other items, such as Mickey Mouse watches and shoe trees. Founded in 1901, the chain represented the interests of the Consolidated Tobacco Company, the tobacco trust that controlled the American Tobacco Company and others. In September 1903 a settlement was reached with the chain's competitors and all competition ended. By 1926 the chain had close to 3000 retail stores.

Orcofi Holdings, the French fashion house, originally founded by Louis Vuitton family patriarch and former Chairman/CEO of LVMH Louis Vuitton-Moet Hennessey Henry Racamier, well established in haute couture, specializing in luxury goods (haute couture, ready-to-wear, handbags, perfumery, and cosmetics among others). The original holding company joined the French banking group Paribas and the French cosmetics giant L'Oréal in buying the Lanvin fashion house. Between 1989 and 1991, Orcofi established an impressive portfolio in the luxury sector. They acquired leather conglomerate Andrelux Industries (Bohata et Cie, Lorenzo, Soco, Upla, and Le Tanneur), French trunk maker Moynat, a heritage company founded in 1849, the luxury grocer Hédiard, Cristalleries Daum, Philippe Model (the French fashion shoe and accessories designer), the young signature ready-to-wear Ines de la Fressange and Paris' oldest couture house, Lanvin. Mr. Racamier sold the controlling stake in Lanvin to L’Oreal and Orcofi to French global insurance powerhouse AXA S.A. Grand Metropolitan acquired Orcofi and is reassembling the collection of legendary brands and status atop the fashion world.
