I once cooked for Paul McIlhenny at a dinner party.

I read this as Paul McCartney, that would have been a cool story.

Vise grip pliers.

Didn't start in Nebraska, but theor first factory with like 30 people was in Dewitt, NE.

Their second factory somewhere else had more people working in it than Dewitt's population today.

Our town is pretty small and KFC started there. Those are around the world.

Headquarters moved to Louisville, though

Nike in Beaverton, OR

It's not particularly small now, approaching 100k people, but back when Nike came about it was less than 20k people roughly.
