The packaging for the Cheetos explicitly lists 'PLANO, TX' and '©2021 FRITO-LAY NORTH AMERICA, INC.'. Frito-Lay's North American headquarters is located in Plano, Texas. Furthermore, the customer service hours are listed for the Central Time zone ('CT'), which includes Plano. While the photo could have been taken anywhere the product is sold or stored, the corporate headquarters is the most specific and verifiable location directly mentioned in the visual evidence.

The image shows a large cardboard box full of snack bags, which is typical of a wholesale or distribution environment, such as a manufacturing plant or a distribution center. While the corporate address is in Plano, the product itself is made in various plants. One of Frito-Lay's largest manufacturing facilities is located in Rosenberg, Texas. This represents a highly plausible type of location where this scene would occur, within the same state as the corporate headquarters.

The packaging lists customer service hours in Central Time (CT). This time zone covers a large portion of the central United States. Chicago is the largest city in the Central Time Zone and a major national distribution hub for consumer goods. It is plausible that this photo was taken in a warehouse or distribution center in or around Chicago, which would handle products from companies like Frito-Lay for distribution across the Midwest.
