Kobayashi: Warming Hands Around the World
Georgia Department of Economic Development spotlights Kobayashi which is headquartered in Dalton, GA. "Georgia is very pro-business. You have great corporations like The Home Depot, Coca-Cola and UPS, who are headquartered here, and there's a great talent pool to choose from. Between the small business credits, great infrastructure and temperate climate, you can't beat doing business in Georgia." - Daniel Yim, President, Kobayashi Consumer Products, LLC.
"Sometimes the best part about living in Georgia is that big things come in small packages. Which is why when you're jonesing for a burger that will make the stars align, it's usually in the places you would least expect it. Like this tiny burger joint in North Georgia, voted for having THE best burgers. We guarantee you won't be left unsatisfied."
