Why are Women in Business Winning in Camrose?
The City of Camrose is a hub of activity for women in business. There are several reasons that make our community a top choice when looking to start a business:
- Low overhead costs: our average cost per square foot for space is lower than our competitors across most areas of the City;
- A supportive network: from the City itself, to Camrose and District Chamber of Commerce and Community Futures, to the WISE women's group for women in business, women entrepreneurs have a variety of levels of support across the community;
- A shop Camrose mentality: the community supports the business community in Camrose and Camrose is a hub for retail and services for the entire region; and
- Quality of Life: Camrose offers a smaller city atmosphere with the amenities of a large city, with family fun options for both indoor and outdoor arts, culture, and recreation activities, and food and entertainment options for all.
