Businesses

Calhoun's economy is heavily influenced by the floor-covering industry, acting as a southern extension of the Dalton carpet manufacturing hub. Major industrial sectors include textiles, advanced manufacturing, and agriculture. Retail also plays a significant role, anchored by the **Calhoun Premium Outlets** and a massive **Buc-ee's** travel center that serves as a major commercial draw along Interstate 75. Downtown Calhoun features a historic business district with local boutiques, professional services, and antique shops.
