Business Opportunities

Macomb isn’t just where we work, it’s our home.

And as our home, we are invested in the people and businesses that make it a great place to live. Macomb is a partnership of both new and old. We are proud of our heritage and excited about our future.

Ours is a vibrant and prosperous community. One that offers a wide range of advantages to expanding businesses as well as new entrepreneurs. With practical support and the strength of proven longevity, Macomb offers a thriving expanse for you to plant your new business.

“For 40 years, and through three business expansions, we have enjoyed the support that Macomb and WIU abundantly gives to its local businesses. We have seen what happens to communities who do not work together and how they falter, but Macomb sees the need to all pull together and support one another and it has made our community, and our businesses, grow and prosper.”

“I expanded into the Macomb market in 2002 at #10 West Side Courthouse Square.  Capital Music has had no problems growing and maintaining a good customer base.  I have found Macomb to be a very friendly community and a nice community to do business.”
