Choose Your Location

High River has the framework to make setting up your business, where it works best for you, as easy as possible.

Mobile Business

High River is a very supportive environment for businesses that do not require a permanent home. Our enlarged downtown sidewalks were built to support pop-up, market-style stands and our parks are the ideal setting for mobile food carts.

What’s more, our community hosts a number of markets and special events that mobile businesses can participate in, as well as a defined, dedicated food truck/vehicle area in the centre of downtown.

Mobile Business Procedure

Operate from Home

Dedicating a portion of your home to support your work is common practice for new businesses and sole proprietors. Connect here to see what type of home occupation is the right fit for your business.

Business Centre

If working from home doesn’t suit your business model, and you’d prefer office space for your operations, look no further than the High River Business Centre for a variety of flexible work spaces available.

Lease or Buy an Existing Building

High River has a variety of commercial spaces that are available to support your business. Have a look at the Land Use Map and bylaws to determine what zones are best suited to your needs.

Build Something New

If our current inventory of developed properties do not meet your needs, High River has a number of vacant lots ready for new builds. Once you find a space you like, let us connect you to one of our trusted construction firms who will ensure your needs are understood and expectations exceeded.
