Wichita, Kan.
Advantage Outsourcing makes Wichita, Kan. its home base for a variety of reasons: Several large companies, including Koch Industries, Cessna and Pizza Hut, are headquartered in Wichita (other large aerospace companies, such as Boeing (BA) and Learjet, also have operations there), and eight colleges and universities are located within a 100 mile radius of the city. Those factors give Advantage Outsourcing access to prospective customers and to a technical labor force known for its loyalty and Midwestern work ethic, says CEO Skip Womack. The city's affordable cost of living and hospitable business environment also make it an attractive spot for Advantage Outsourcing.
