Jimmy Won is CEO of Thunder Corp. No one really understands how he got to be CEO -- he comes off as a buffoon, and everyone knows he's a mediocre businessman. However, his immediate superiors always failed at something important at a critical moment, leaving a spot open for Won's promotion. Nothing has ever been proven.

Their profits have never been good: they've struggled for a long time, but over the past two months, their profits have shown marked, rapid improvement. As of the beginning of July, this increase leveled out, but they're still doing better than they were. Suddenly, everyone wants to buy Thunder Corp merchandise. This is strange, since they don't seem to have changed their advertisements at all.

They're a fairly small company, certainly local, and their manufacturing plants/warehouses/etc. are all just outside Locke City. Their locations are not a secret.
