Twin Cities Book of Lists / Largest Companies Rankings

Overview

Twin Cities Business Journal’s Book of Lists / Largest Companies rankings is an editorial data product that ranks the biggest companies headquartered in the Minneapolis–St. Paul region, typically by revenue, employees, or other key metrics. Compiled and vetted by the Journal’s research department, it serves as a regional benchmark and networking tool for executives, investors, and service providers. Companies pursue inclusion for local visibility, sales credibility, and as a third‑party validation of size and market presence rather than as a traditional awards program.

Eligibility Requirements

• Must issue common stock on a stock exchange or otherwise provide verifiable financial/operational data to the research team
• Must respond to Twin Cities Business Journal research surveys or verify data by the 2026 research deadline (March 13, 2026 for that cycle)
