Charlotte NC Gets Chiquita Banana Corporate Headquarters
Chiquita Banana announced yesterday that it will move its corporate headquarters to Charlotte NC. The company estimates that it will relocate approximately 200 jobs to our fair city with another 200 jobs becoming available.
Those of us who live in Charlotte are not surprised that Chiquita Banana chose Charlotte for its new headquarters. We know that Charlotte is a destination city for newcomers from all over the country and that more people move into Charlotte every year than move out.
Why not? Charlotte has a mild four season climate, a bustling arts and sports scene, affordable housing in beautiful neighborhoods and some great schools. Apparently, our airport with its 700 daily flights and numerous international flights was very attractive to Chiquita Banana executives who travel extensively.
Chiquita Banana joins more than 200 other firms in the Charlotte area who have 500 or more employees. Charlotte is home to eight Fortune 500 companies.
