5 Texas Brands Texans Love The Most

(Mix 93-1) Texans have an unparalleled sense of pride. The pride that we have for the Lone Star State is unmatched when it comes to other states. When’s the last time you heard someone say they’re proud to be from Rhode Island, Florida, or Pennsylvania? My point exactly!

Texans are proud to be from Texas, where we’re flying the Lone Star flag high and also wearing it on a t-shirt; we’re going to let you know where we’re from and what we’re proud of.

Why Texans Back Homegrown Brands

Another thing we’re proud of and stand behind are the brands that were born right here in Texas. From gas and beer to fast food and airlines, Texans will support a Texas business over one that is based in California or New York (in most cases).

Texas-born brands often showcase their roots and loyalty to Texas by modifying their logo or catchphrase to incorporate a Texas-ism or color, demonstrating support for the state, and earning more support from Texans.

Just look at DQ, while their headquarters is in Illinois, Texas DQs are unique, with their own home office and the slogan of ‘That’s what I like about Texas.’

The Biggest Businesses Born in Texas

When you start looking around and compiling a list of Texas-born businesses, some pretty big and heavy-hitting companies appear on the list:

I included Whataburger because it was born in Corpus Christi in 1950 and is still considered a Texas company, although it was bought out by a company in Chicago – it’s still Texas in our eyes.

National Companies Moving to Texas

While these companies were born in Texas, many others are moving their headquarters to Texas: Toyota North America, Tesla, Oracle, Chevron, Pabst Brewing, Hewlett-Packard, and X, to name a few.
