Revision as of 15:35, January 24, 2018

The following is a non-exhaustive list of for-profit companies which generally support conservative principles, individuals, and/or organizations. (These companies are listed alphabetically.) This list is based on primarily on official, corporate activity, but also based on activities approved but not sponsored by the company.
(Note: Indicators of conservative interest can change suddenly. To be certain, please do some research on your own. If you see an inaccurate listing here, please update it!)

Very conservative

The following are companies which openly support conservative principles, while refusing to support most if not all liberal ones.

Chick-Fil-A^[2]^[3]
Cerberus Capital Management (Safeway Inc.)^[4]^[5]
Cintas Corporation^[6]

Publix Super Markets, Inc.^[17]
TRT Holdings (Gold's Gym, Omni Hotels, etc.)^[18]
Waffle House Inc.^[19]^[20]
Wendy's Co^[21]

Somewhat conservative

The following are some companies which support some conservative causes and principles, but do not seem to take a strong stand solely in their favor. These typically offer minor support to liberal causes, but from a statistical standpoint are still more conservative than not.

Arby's (Roark Capital Group)^[22]^[23]
Burger King (3G Capital)^[24]
Darden Restaurants^[25]^[26] (Longhorn Steakhouse, Olive Garden, The Capital Grille, etc.)^[27]
New Balance^[28]^[29]
White Castle System^[30]^[31]

Slightly conservative

The following companies seem to show slight leanings or preferences towards conservative principles and causes, but do not seem firm or determined in this trend. Liberal causes are usually also supported at least in part, but over all, they tend to favor conservatism slightly.

Ace Hardware Corporation^[32]^[33]
Advance Auto Parts^[34]
American Greetings Corp^[35]
Amway/Alticor Inc.^[36]
Anheuser-Busch^[37]
Blue Bell Creameries^[38]
Berkshire Hathaway (Fruit of the Loom, etc.)^[39]^[40]
iHeartMedia Inc^[41]^[42]
Menard^[43]
Royal Dutch Shell (Shell Oil)^[44]^[45]
Staples Inc.^[46]
USAA^[47]^[48]
YUM! Brands (Taco Bell, KFC, Long John Silver)^[49]^[50]^[51]

Debatable whether conservative

The following are companies which give mixed signals, some in support of conservative principles, and some the opposite. This conflicting activity makes their beliefs and intentions difficult to discern with certainty, warranting some debate.
