No it didn't. It has a regional office there but HQ is still in IL.

Omaha is roughly the size of Atlanta in city population.


That may be true but Atlanta city limits is small. It's like 7 million metro. Not nearly the same thing.

All of the northwest Arkansas corps fit the bill. The entire area is a few hundred thousand so it isn’t really really small.

It is like suburbia without a large fading central city in the middle of them.

You already know all that but maybe some of the other folks don’t. Even lumped together I bet it ranks high among metros of its size in terms of big headquarters.

I wonder how many other areas are like that. Usually there is one biggest city that is the tag for the area.
