The Census counted 124 establishments with employees in 2023 in ZIP code 13340, which includes Frankfort and its surroundings. Some of the businesses behind that number:

- Quick-service restaurants: 6. Their website should show the menu with prices, hours and the closest cross streets.
Herkimer County as a whole had 1,124 employer establishments in 2023 and another 3,503 nonemployer businesses, the one-person shops and independent contractors that often have no website at all. Compared with the U.S. as a whole, Herkimer County leans toward hotels, inns and other lodging (30 establishments, 3.2 times the national share). For them, travelers compare rooms, rates and location, and the website should show rooms with real photos, amenities, location and how to reserve by email or through your booking channel. Next on the list: nursing and residential care facilities, 30 of them, at 2.4 times the national share. 8.0% of employed residents work in professional, management and administrative services, and 7.8% in construction.
