August 2025 Economic Development Update
Sunrise Corner thrives on the strength and spirit of our people – and nothing shows that more than when someone starts a new business or takes over a local business. Whether it’s a brand-new venture, a new owner stepping in to continue a legacy business, or an existing business owner offering new products or services, entrepreneurs bring jobs, energy, and stability to our region.
There has been a great deal of new business activity over the past couple years that has been generating optimism and sends a message: Sunrise Corner is a community worth investing in. Whether it’s new owners of an established grocery store or restaurant, a new retail business that offers products that weren’t available here before, or home-based businesses that provide pet grooming, guided quad adventures or farm-based and eco-tourism experiences, these ventures add vitality to our daily lives and help keep dollars circulating close to home.
Moreover, fresh businesses and their owners bring innovation. New ideas, technologies, and services can inspire improvements across sectors and attract visitors and other investors. A thriving business scene boosts our community profile and makes our town more appealing for future residents and families considering a move to a rural setting.
Our role as a community is just as important. By shopping local, spreading the word, and offering a warm welcome, we help make entrepreneurship more sustainable and appealing. Simply stopping in to say hello can make all the difference to someone who’s poured their heart and savings into a dream. When you choose to support local businesses, you’re not just making a purchase, you’re strengthening the economic backbone of our region.
Let’s continue to celebrate and support the entrepreneurs who are helping shape our community’s future – one business at a time. Check out the Sunrise Corner business directory where you’re sure to find a product or service you need that you didn’t know was available locally.
Whether you’re ready to start your next business opportunity or you’re thinking about retiring and interested in succession planning options, we invite you to book a one-on-one meeting to discuss how we can support your business objectives right here in Sunrise Corner.
