Over the past couple of decades, Jacksonville has enticed a nice collection of major businesses to call the city home.
Some are well-known, and others are quieter but still valuable both within our community and across the country. The city has been able to attract businesses through its enormous office buildings and office parks, as well as its status as an important southern port city and logistics center.
Here’s a look at just a few examples of major companies that currently have headquarters located in Jacksonville.
Fanatics is the second brand on our list that originates in Jacksonville. The company began in 1995 with the opening of its first physical store, Football Fanatics, at The Avenues Mall. While its physical locations were a success, the company found its niche in the form of online sales. Today, it ranks as one of the top online retailers for sports clothing, accessories, and memorabilia, expanding far beyond its initial focus of football. The company also operates the NBA’s new flagship store in New York City, and also partners with many professional sports teams to help run their online fan shops. Fanatics continues to call Jacksonville its home, with its headquarters located off of Philips Highway deep within the Cypress Plaza business park.
