The Stanley business count, sector by sector
The Census counted 48 establishments with employees in 2023 in ZIP code 83278, which includes Stanley and its surroundings. Some of the businesses behind that number:
- Hotels and motels: 7. Their website should show rooms, photos, location and a contact form, so travelers can compare you outside the booking apps.
- Full-service restaurants: 3. Their website should show the menu, hours, location and photos of the food, easy to read on a phone.
Custer County as a whole had 192 employer establishments in 2023 and another 504 nonemployer businesses, the one-person shops and independent contractors that often have no website at all. The county’s largest sectors by number of employer establishments are construction (20.8%), accommodation and food services (17.2%) and retail trade (13.5%). Most of these businesses are small, and the website does the job a front desk would do in a bigger company.
