We find persuasive the reasoning from other jurisdictions that treat a corporation as a person with a residence for venue purposes. See, e.g., Zodiac Corp. v. General Elec. Credit Corp., 566 S.W.2d 341 (Tex.Civ.App. 1978) (venue in county of residence of corporate defendant proper in action brought against corporate debtor and individual guarantors of promissory note); Atlanta Dairies Co-op v. Scott, 140 Ga. App. 820, 232 S.E.2d 130 (1976), rev'd on other grounds, 239 Ga. 721, 238 S.E.2d 340 (1977) (constitutional venue of civil suits is county where defendant resides, be it individual or corporate); Wegorzewski v. Macrose Lumber Trim Co., 28 A.D.2d 713, 280 N.Y.S.2d 994 (1967) (residence of corporation for venue purposes is principal place of business); Guiterrez v. Superior Court, 243 Cal.App.2d 710, 52 Cal.Rptr. 592 (1966) (residence of corporation for venue purposes is principal place of business). The trial court cited Wray v. Superior Court, 82 Ariz. 79, 308 P.2d 701 (1957) as authority for its decision to grant defendants' motion for change of venue.
