2016 Book of Lists: San Leandro In Context

Each December, the San Francisco Business Times issues its Book of Lists — a comprehensive catalog of the most successful and influential companies in the Bay Area. These lists are compiled from the weekly publications of the previous year and is one of the most extensive, data-rich, and widely circulated business resources in the Bay Area. The 2016 Book of Lists provides a vivid snapshot of San Leandro’s position in the Greater Bay Area business community.

The lists vary in size from 25 to 100 businesses, depending on the categories, of which there are 176. This year, 16 San Leandro businesses are represented in 15 categories:
