The city of Dallas certainly has earned some bragging rights. It is home to the Dallas Cowboys, the most valuable team in the NFL (worth $5.5 billion in 2019, according to Forbes); the Texas State Fair, the biggest state fair in the nation (with more than 2,000,000 visitors annually); and the Dallas Arts District, the largest contiguous urban arts district in the nation.
But the city’s bragging rights aren’t limited to these record-breaking achievements. The Dallas region also proudly serves as a hub of sorts for the food and beverage industry sector. In fact, the Dallas Chamber of Commerce reports that more than 15,000 establishments — ranging from corporate headquarters and production to distribution and retail — account for almost 370,000 jobs locally.
