Do you want to support Christian business owners? Would you like to be able to do that and eat other things besides fried chicken? While Billy Hallowell's list isn't mine, here are five more large companies whose owners have disclosed their religious identity online:

Tyson Foods? Now that's a switch. Here I'd been dutifully avoiding Tyson chicken ever since Roger Morris described the stomach-turning conditions under which the birds spent their days, while Don Tyson was in charge of things. John Tyson is a different man. Do the chickens know the difference? Maybe Christians in Arkansas would like to tell us more about this.
Interstate Batteries has franchise opportunities available. For research purposes, I searched the "Store Locator" feature on their web site. Kingsport, Tennessee, is lavishly supplied with Interstate Batteries franchises. There's also a franchise in Lee County, Virginia. Hmm. People in Gate City can walk to Kingsport if they take the time, but when people in upper Scott County need batteries, can they get to Kingsport or Lee County to buy batteries? They can order batteries online...if they have computers, and if the computers have working batteries. Sounds like a business opportunity for somebody in Duffield or Nickelsville...maybe both.
Hobby Lobby is another store that's easy for people in my part of the world to support. As a knitter, I know this store well, and I've been disappointed in it over the last five years or so. What used to be a world-class selection of cheap, medium, and luxurious yarns has shrunk down to a heavy-handed greedhead effort to force knitters to "choose" an unsatisfactory store brand. In the hope that Kingsport's Hobby Lobby store may correct its mistakes and start offering more name-brand yarns again, I'm offering them a free link: http://www.hobbylobby.com/StoreLocator/. Knitters, please use this link to inform the store that we like choices.
The other two businesses Billy Hallowell mentions are in the Western States. Local readers are welcome to add more local businesses to the list here.
