Moore County is a regional retail hub; local stores and shops attract residents, tourists and shoppers from the surrounding area. Retail Trade is our third largest industry sector, with retail sales totaling over $171 million in fiscal year 2021.

The walkable downtowns of our quaint and charming communities contain an abundance of unique restaurants featuring locally-grown ingredients and one-of-a-kind boutique shops. Local businesses inspire a strong culture of “shopping local,” often using the hashtag #togetherwearemoore. Moore County’s communities also offer several major retailers typically found in larger metropolitan areas.
