The Fortune 500 Companies In Rhode Island

The 64th annual Fortune 500 list is out, and while the usual suspects dominated the top of the list, four companies from Rhode Island were listed, too

You’ll recognize many of the top companies — Walmart topped the list for the sixth straight year and Amazon cracked the top 10 — but you might not be familiar with all the companies from Rhode Island after the first entry.
