Plano is Headquarters for Industry
Ever since the Houston and Texas Central Railway arrived in Plano in 1872, the city has been an important stop for industrialists. Today, it has a thriving cluster of Fortune 1000 corporate headquarters, including JCPenney, Rent-a-Center, Dr. Pepper Snapple Group, and Cinemark Holdings, as well as regional offices for McAfee, Bank of America Home Loans, Ericsson, Frito-Lay, PepsiCo and others.

Just 30 minutes from Dallas, Plano is in the banking center of the Southwest, and financial services is an important industry cluster. And part of being only five minutes from where the first microchip was created is that Plano is now a significant technology headquarters, with telecommunications, software, IT, bioscience, and digital media manufacturers and distributors located here. This is why students earning degrees in Plano may have tremendous career opportunities in finance, manufacturing, health care, business, energy development, and technology.
