MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE
Strategy and operations consulting in Memphis.
Memphis is a North American freight crossroads, home to FedEx's headquarters and main air hub, a Mississippi River port, major rail lines and dense distribution space, with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital among its anchors.
THE LOCAL ECONOMY
What drives business in Memphis.
FedEx's overnight air hub, river barge terminals and several major railroads support a large warehousing industry spanning Shelby County and DeSoto County, Mississippi. St. Jude, Methodist Le Bonheur and Baptist Memorial anchor healthcare, and AutoZone and International Paper keep headquarters here. xAI's Colossus supercomputer in south Memphis has brought a large new industrial power user, along with debates over air permits, power and water.

WHAT COMPANIES HERE FACE
The decisions in front of Memphis management teams.
Logistics and distribution firms here run on FedEx volumes and e-commerce demand, so they must adjust quickly as FedEx restructures its networks. Employers compete for warehouse and maintenance workers in a market with persistent poverty and skills gaps. Firms also weigh Tennessee, Mississippi and Arkansas locations for taxes and incentives.
