Cabarrus County is one of the fastest-growing counties in the Charlotte metro area, anchored by Concord and Kannapolis. Home to Charlotte Motor Speedway, Concord Mills, and a booming commercial economy that serves both the Charlotte metro and its own rapidly expanding population.
With the Charlotte Motor Speedway and the surrounding NASCAR team shop corridor, Cabarrus County has carved out a unique niche in the motorsports industry. Concord Mills draws over 17 million visitors annually, fueling retail, hospitality, and food service businesses. The NC Research Campus in Kannapolis is transforming the county into a food science and biotech hub.

Serving Cabarrus County means knowing it. Here's the local context that shapes how businesses operate across the county.
Cabarrus County's economic identity has been shaped by three eras: cotton and textiles, motorsports, and modern retail-driven growth. Once home to Cannon Mills — one of the largest textile companies in the world — the county reinvented itself around motorsports and retail tourism.
Charlotte Motor Speedway anchors a corridor of NASCAR team shops and performance suppliers along US-29. Concord Mills draws over 17 million visitors annually. The NC Research Campus in Kannapolis has attracted food science and biotech firms to the former Cannon Mills site.
Today, Cabarrus County is one of the fastest-growing in North Carolina, benefiting from Charlotte metro spillover, affordable real estate, and a pro-business environment. The mix of motorsports, retail, biotech, and rapid residential growth creates a diverse small business ecosystem.
