[dmarc117]

MillerCoors, the joint venture between SABMiller PLC and Molson Coors, will locate its headquarters in downtown Chicago, World Business Chicago, the economic development organization for the city said Tuesday.

 

The company, which also was considering Dallas, will bring 300 to 400 executive and management jobs to the city beginning in June 2009, the organization said.

 

"The decision to select Chicago as the location for our corporate headquarters was made to achieve our goal of becoming the best beer company in America by having access to an attractive base of talent, transportation and business resources," said Tom Long President MillerCoors. "We are grateful to the State of Illinois and City of Chicago for their support."
