Business Recruitment and Expansion

Looking to start a business or expand? Ayden might be the place for you! Located fifteen minutes away from Greenville, NC and linked to Highway 11, Ayden's rapidly expanding population is looking to shop, dine, and play where they live. The Town is currently seeking new dining options, retail stores, and entertainment in its downtown area. Our business profile gives you a rundown of the town's demographics and what business niches we're looking for. We also offer facade grants to support improving existing downtown businesses. We look forward to working with you!
