Welcome to Mint Hill

Situated on the eastern border of one of America’s fastest growing cities, Mint Hill is a hidden gem in the Charlotte Metro area. A convenient 12-mile drive from uptown, Mint Hill combines the growing and thriving business community that draws people to the Queen City with the friendly people and smiling faces of smalltown America.

At the Mint Hill Chamber of Commerce, we believe in the power of partnerships and supporting local business. Our mission is to promote and collaborate with businesses to cultivate a growing and connected community. We are blessed to work with over 250 active members who work alongside each other to give of their time, talents and resources in the service of fostering a community where small businesses flourish and community thrives.

Whether you’re a visitor to Mint Hill or a lifetime resident, our town has a lot to offer. As you stroll through our downtown corridor, step back in time at the Carl J. McEwen Historic Village, stop for a bite to eat at one of our restaurants, and take a look at what our many family-owned shops have to offer. I encourage you to visit our local parks, engage with our robust network of nonprofit organizations, and mark your calendar for one of our town’s signature events, like Mint Hill Madness, where you’ll witness the spirit of our small town firsthand.

Our vision at the Chamber of Commerce is to be an influential organization to showcase members and attract new businesses to stimulate future growth and prosperity. We are looking forward to making 2024 our best year yet! We invite you to attend one of our signature annual events, like the Spring Tea and Brunch, Cornhole Tournament, Golf Classic, Senior Citizens Christmas Party, and Holiday Pop Up Shop. In 2024, we look forward to adding “Play it Forward” Casino Night. This new event will not only finance members’ professional development but will also support Leadership Mint Hill, a new five-month course that will immerse Mint Hill’s business leaders in the history and current goings-on of our Town.

At the Chamber, we provide a variety of networking, advertising, educational, and social opportunities throughout the year, and we will continue to implement more events and programs to serve our members and the Mint Hill community. We host events like Coffee Connections, Women’s Networking Breakfast, Member Luncheons and Business After Hours where business leaders can come to network, and this year we’re looking forward to adding a Young Professionals Group.

Our Chamber staff, including myself and the Board of Directors, are available to both visitors and residents who seek information regarding our community. We want to be a resource for not only our members but for the entire Town of Mint Hill. Whatever your needs as a small business owner, visitor, or resident, I hope you’ll reach out to us so we can grow together. Mint Hill is an excellent place to do business. I encourage you to become active in our Chamber and the community.

You’re invited to stop by our office located at 7900 Matthews-Mint Hill Road, Building 2 Suite B and visit our website, www.minthillchamberofcommerce.com to learn more about how the Chamber can help you. You can also find us on Facebook and Instagram to stay updated on our upcoming events!
