2011 Fortune 500 List released

Does your shop produce signage for one of these titans of industry?

Earlier this month, Fortune Magazine released its Fortune 500 list for this year. Topping the list in annual revenue was Wal-Mart, with approximately $422 billion in sales in 2010. Exxon Mobil ranked second in revenue with $355 billion, but nearly doubled Wal-Mart’s profit ($30.5B to $16.4B). Rounding out the Top 5 were Chevron, ConocoPhillips (a good time to be in the oil "bidness," as Texans would say) and Fannie Mae (although it lost $14 billion against $154 billion of revenue). Even company #500 on the list, food purveyor Seaport (slightly over $4 billion) would be the envy of countless smaller companies.
