Thank God, I'm not.
The building in Lake Dallas will serve as Evolutions Brands’ headquarters, encompassing the home office, warehouse for wholesale and e-commerce distribution, as well as a manufacturing facility.

There is an AQHA museum up there adjacent to the association's current headquarters site. I would guess that if the offices move, they would likely move their museum as well. Another big loss, potentially, for Amarillo after losing the National Cowgirl Hall of Fame/Museum from nearby Hereford to Fort Worth a few years ago. Also previously departed from Amarillo was the Sterquell Wagon Collection, which also relocated to Fort Worth a few years ago. It will be interesting to see if the city/economic development folks in Amarillo let the AQHA get away from them also, or if they try to keep them there somehow.

SAN RAMON, Calif.
"It's not something you that you want to see, losing 800 jobs. That's a big impact in San Ramon," president and CEO of the San Ramon Chamber of Commerce Stewart Bambino told ABC7 News. 800 jobs is also about one-fourth of Chevron's total work force at its San Ramon headquarters.
Five business units are involved, all of which support Chevron's oil exploration and alternative fuel research. All of those workers will now work side-by-side in Houston.

Not to seem over anxious, but maybe all the scientists will be in Houston (area) and the shirts will be in Dallas' Smart District.

This Bay Area Fortune 500 has moved hundreds of employees to Texas. Will its headquarters follow?

The recent loss of two San Francisco Bay Area Fortune 500 headquarters to Texas raises a key question: Who's next?

Remarkably insinuating! as per the usual
Here's the headline from in front of the paywall to the Bay Area Business Journal outlet:

Didn't McKesson have the same PR press release about not moving HQ? SOP

I guess I just expect you to be snarky when addressing me directly, and I really am sorry about that.

"Might be" "probably" "maybe"
The initially linked media information posted Chevron's statement that the HQ would remain in the East Bay. That sure seemed like the time McKesson denied it was moving it's HQ.
I dont remember if Schwab performed that same song and dance.
I suppose, propose and who-knows all over this forum; that Chevron would move HQ to Texas is right in line. Forum discussion is lucky to have a tethering, too, since it makes the wanderings that much more fun.

This could be a major win for Dallas. They are looking at The Epic in Deep Ellum.
Home improvement retailer Lowe's Cos. is scoping out the Dallas area to locate a new technology hub, according to a report in the Charlotte Observer.
Lowe's chief information officer Seemantini Godbole, who came to Lowe's from Target six months ago, told the newspaper that Charlotte and Dallas are both under consideration and the decision would be made by the end of the summer.
Being near a commuter train is preferred, Godbole said. Downtown Dallas real estate agents have been chattering for weeks that some kind of Lowe's office was in the works.

I would imagine. But then I look at Google and Apple in Austin and figure they really don't give a crap about that ...but we'll see.
