Which U.S. state is the headquarters of Levi Strauss & Co.?

Levi Strauss & Co. is headquartered in California.

The company’s corporate headquarters is in San Francisco, California, at Levi’s Plaza. San Francisco has been central to the company since Levi Strauss established a West Coast branch of his family’s dry-goods business there during the California Gold Rush era.

The company was founded in the 1850s and grew from a wholesale importer into an international apparel corporation. Its Levi’s brand later became famous for blue jeans, while the business expanded into other clothing lines and global markets.

A possible source of confusion is that the corporation is incorporated in Delaware, but incorporation and headquarters are different things. The headquarters refers to the company’s principal corporate base, which is in San Francisco, California. Levi Strauss & Co. also organizes operations across regional divisions worldwide.
