Corporate America a presence in college town

Chipotle is one of many corporate-owned businesses with a presence in Oxford, Ohio. In this project, Miami University journalism students profiled 14 corporations with Oxford connections.

 

Like many college towns, Oxford, Ohio, may be better known for one-of-a-kind, locally owned businesses than national franchises. But corporate America is as represented in Oxford as anywhere.

Sometimes it can be seen in the storefronts of national or regional chains, and sometimes it's represented by products that are available in Oxford as well as other cities and towns across the country.

Following are brief descriptions of publicly traded national and international companies with a presence in town, with links to brief profiles of each corporation.
