Fortune 500 Companies Like a Texas Zip Code

Texas is home to 52 of the companies on the Fortune 500 List.

By Livability.com on February 7, 2014

If a state is known by the companies it keeps, then Texas is a popular place to be. With 52 members of the 2012 Fortune 500 calling it home, Texas ranks second in the nation for attracting the highest-revenue public companies.
Ranking No. 1 on the list overall, ExxonMobil is headquartered in Irving in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. The world’s largest publicly traded international oil and gas company, ExxonMobil provides energy that helps grow economies around the world.
In addition to oil, Texas has a strong technology base. Computer leader Dell was launched in Texas in 1984 when founder Michael Dell was a student at the University of Texas at Austin. Operating from his dormitory room, Dell sold personal computer systems directly to consumers. Today, Dell ranks fifth on Texas’s list of Fortune 500 companies, and is in the 44th spot overall.
Texas is home to consumer goods manufacturers, such as Kimberly-Clark, a paper products maker founded in Wisconsin that moved its headquarters to Irving in 1985. Retailers are also strongly represented. GameStop, the world’s largest retailer of video games, got its start in Dallas. And natural foods grocer Whole Foods first opened its doors in Austin.
From energy to transportation, a wide range of companies calls Texas home. Here is a list of all 52 Fortune 500 companies with a Texas zip code on its headquarters:
