ENOUGH WITH THE BANANA JOKES
The Charlotte Chambers Kati Hynes
OK, we can't help ourselves. How many bananas does it take to screw in a light bulb? Who cares? Chiquita's moving to Charlotte. We'll have all the bananas we need. And behind the scenes was none other than the Charlotte Chamber's Kati Hynes. Chiquita last week announced it will be moving its HQ from Cincinnati to Uptown Charlotte's NASCAR Plaza next year. The global fruit importer will be bringing about 400 jobs. Kati tells us she had to keep the deal close to the vest. ?We had to respond to every single request,? Kati says, while acknowledging she was only one of about 180 people involved in the relocation. ?It's all about staying on top of it.? Modesty becomes you.
