New Orleans-based Entergy and family-owned Boh Brothers Construction were named among the top companies in Louisiana by Forbes Magazine.

In November, the business and financial publication released its first ever list of the best companies in each U.S. state. More than 50,000 companies were assessed on factors such as size, financial strength and customer and employee satisfaction. Forbes devised a methodology to score each company and ranked the highest-scoring in each state for a total list of 750 companies across the country.

Entergy and Boh Bros. took the No. 1 and 2 spots, respectively. The top five is rounded out by Lamar Advertising in Baton Rouge, which rakes in billions from billboards across 10 states, Hendons Building & Car Ports in Monroe and Raising Cane’s, the Baton Rouge chicken finger fast food chain that has rapidly expanded nationwide.
