This unique combination of industries has allowed Chester County to maintain a booming economy while keeping a rural atmosphere, despite being one of Pennsylvania’s fastest-growing locations for business.
Yet, while the area can boast being home to many large, nationally known and award-winning brands and companies, the area truly thrives because of small business. The typical company is either owner-operated, family-run, or a small mom-and-pop shop.
