If you’re looking to open a business in North Carolina, you may want to consider Morehead City.

Morehead City was recently ranked as number five in the top ten places to open a small business in North Carolina by NerdWallet, a financial advice company that helps people comparison shop in different areas.

Mandy Vick is a good example of that. She moved from Raleigh to open Wine and Design in Morehead City back in January. She says, “We love the downtown feel here working right on the waterfront. All of the businesses are just super supportive. We’ve got great restaurants and tons of thing for families to do.”

Wine and design provides painting parties for a wide variety of groups. In less than 5-months, the business has hosted about 225 events so far.

The Carteret County Chamber of Commerce is continuing to work to grow the area and bring in more visitors so there is long term incentive for businesses to set up shop.

Vick is glad she did, even opening the doors in winter. “We were very busy in the off season, which was very comforting because we knew we could be a success in the summer, but February was my busiest months, so I think the town was excited to have us here.”

In 2013, Carteret County brought in nearly $303-million in tourism money. The 2014 figures will be out in August.
