11 big-name companies based in small-town America by Áine Cain on May 31, 2017, 11:38 AM Advertisement
 Not all big businesses are based in major cities. Some, in fact, are located a bit off the beaten path, in areas with relatively small populations. Business Insider recently scoured the Fortune 500 list for such companies. We skipped right over any organizations headquartered in the biggest US cities. From there, we ordered each company's location based on population size, using information from City Data. As it turns out, there are a good number of companies that aren't based in the biggest US cities. Some, like Walmart, maintain a headquarters in smaller towns like Bentonville, Arkansas, which has a population of 41,613. But we went even smaller: The companies on this list are all based in locations with populations under 7,000, as of 2014.
