Lykes Bros. Inc.
 PROFILE
If only life for Florida citrus magnates the Lykes family were as sweet as the fruits which made its fortune. Family-owned Lykes Bros., once the #1 US maker of private-label juices, now holds only small insurance and fertilizer interests and 600,000 acres of land (for orange groves and cattle in Florida and Texas). To focus on its juice business, the company sold its banking, shipping, meat processing, and convenience store interests. Lykes then sold its juice operations in 1999, making it worth about half what it was the year before. The results? A big lawsuit filed on behalf of more than 80 family shareholders unhappy because they feel the juice business was undervalued.
