fieldafm,

My eyes are going but that looks like a wink in your post.

I know this is secretive stuff, but if you know a rumor:

Is it a company most people will recognize?

I can assure all of you... Wells Fargo is not relocating its corporate HQ here.

Well that was my pipe dream I had the other day. Im sure they are not either LOL

I've heard about 5 potential rumors linked to that article. Two would make sense, one kind of makes sense but not really and the other two sound more like wild speculation.

All 5 names I've heard are all companies I am familiar with.

But I know for a fact that Wells Fargo isn't one of them.

Your dangling the carrot in front of us. Youre such a tease

fieldafm,

Thank you!

I'm not that important to know who it actually is... just rumors, two from people who tend to be right about these matters.

I just know Wells is not even close to be the ones thinking of moving corp HQ here.

Are you sure? I mean, who wouldn't want to leave San Francisco for Jacksonville?

Maybe it's Rice A Roni. I heard they are trying to change their image.

Wells Fargo is pretty much the epitome of SF. To me, it even feels kinda weird having WF Banks east of the Mississippi. While I agree that I don't see WF going anywhere, lets not act like it's impossible for a prominent company in bigger a metro to relocate to a smaller metro. There are constant examples. Lets not forget about Santa Barbara, CA in that thriving SoCal metroplex lost FNF to Jax.

Well there's one. It was said there were several companies to relocate. But thats not a corporate headquarters so that one is still a mystery.

Pick up a copy of last week's business journal.

Stop being a negative wet rag... and learn for yourself.
