They also own STAPLES, Baskin Robbins, TOTES (the umbrellas and shit you get for a holiday gift from people who don't know what to get you), Burger King, a massive chunk of the supply end of Home Depot, and a shitload of other commercial/financial interests.
It's sick how deep their reach is--they are greedy fucks. They do everything they can to wring the "good" out of companies, to strip out the quality and reduce the product to the minimally acceptable dreck that people will pay for--and that's if they keep 'em running. Often, they'll buy a company, break it up into bits, fire the employees, raid the pension fund, and sell off the pieces and walk away. They are assholes, greedy, horrible assholes. I avoid them to the extent I am able.
