The businesses that compete for customers in Eclectic

The Census counted 90 establishments with employees in 2023 in ZIP code 36024, which includes Eclectic and its surroundings. Some of the businesses behind that number:

• 7 plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors: maintenance plans, the brands you service and a request form that works on a phone.
• 4 real estate offices: a page about each area you cover and an easy way for buyers and sellers to reach the right agent.
• 3 quick-service restaurants: the menu with prices, hours and the closest cross streets.

In Elmore County, the Census counted 1,305 businesses with employees and 6,202 without a payroll in 2023; the second group is where a simple, affordable website changes the most. 93 religious, civic and membership organizations operate in Elmore County, twice what the national mix would predict. In that line of work, members and newcomers look for schedules and contacts; the website should give customers meeting times, programs, location and how to get involved. 9.1% of employed residents work in manufacturing, and 8.8% in public administration.

• Alabama business privilege licenses are issued at county level; the state Department of Revenue coordinates state and county business privilege licenses, and the county probate office issues them. In Eclectic, that means asking Elmore County and the Town of Eclectic. Official source
