Visitors - Welcome to the Clarkston Area

Clarkston Area Chamber of Commerce welcomes you to this edition of the Chamber’s Community Guide and Directory which is published and distributed by Sherman Publications, parent company of the Clarkston News and Penny Stretcher.

Founded in 1987-88, the Clarkston Area Chamber of Commerce is a non-profit business organization whose mission is to promote and enhance business opportunities in the Clarkston Area for our members. With over 600 members, the Chamber of Commerce hosts, partners and promotes many community activities and events including Concerts in the Park, Taste of Clarkston, November Business EXPO and the December Clarkston Lights Parade.

The majority of our business members own or work for a small business with less than 12 employees. Many of our members live in our community, are active in one or more community service organizations and volunteer for events and activities that benefit youth, business, community, seniors, open spaces, parks and recreation and more.

Our larger corporate members are committed to building community and are active on a variety of local Boards and committees. Working together, Chamber members help businesses build their business while creating a strong sense of customer loyalty throughout our community.

Take time to look through this publication and be sure to visit some of the Chamber members and business advertisers in this book, as well as the public and private facilities we have in our community.

If you are not a current resident of the Clarkston area, we invite you to take time and visit all aspects of our community. Those of us who are residents, feel that this is an excellent place to live, raise our families and build your business. If you relocate here, it will take a very short time for Clarkston to become your hometown too.
