The success that these two Japanese companies have had in Tennessee reportedly impressed GM, as did the state's abundant electricity, favorable tax structure and productive labor force. Despite its fame as the home of Grand Ole Opry and Jack Daniel's whisky, Tennessee has quietly become a thriving business center; 100 corporations, including Federal Express and Magic Chef, have their headquarters in the state...
