Geocache Description:

THIS CACHE IS NOT AT THE LISTED COORDNATES.

The Fortune 500 is an annual list compiled and published by Fortune magazine that ranks the top 500 U.S. closely held and public corporations as ranked by their gross revenue after adjustments made by Fortune to exclude the impact of excise taxes companies collect. The list includes publicly and privately-held companies for which revenues are publicly available. The first Fortune 500 list was published in 1955.

This puzzle cache involves several companies from the top 700 list from 2009. With some perseverance and determination on your part, you should be able to solve this one. Good luck!
