KILLEEN, TEXAS
Strategy and operations consulting in Killeen.
The Killeen–Temple metro combines the large Army post at Fort Hood with Temple's medical center and the headquarters of distributor McLane Company and surfaces maker Wilsonart.
THE LOCAL ECONOMY
What drives business in Killeen.
Fort Hood drives Killeen, Harker Heights and Copperas Cove, where retail, housing and services follow troop deployments and rotations. Temple is a separate engine: Baylor Scott & White's flagship medical center and the Olin E. Teague Veterans' Medical Center anchor healthcare, McLane Company runs grocery and foodservice distribution from its headquarters there, and Wilsonart makes laminate and surfacing products. Interstate 35 between Austin and Waco is drawing new warehouses and plants to the Temple and Belton area.

WHAT COMPANIES HERE FACE
The decisions in front of Killeen management teams.
Retailers, landlords and service firms near the post see demand swing with deployments, so cash planning and flexible staffing matter. Military spouses form a skilled but transient workforce, which raises onboarding and turnover costs. Manufacturers and distributors along I-35 compete for production workers with the expanding Austin metro to the south.
