Welcome to Fountain Inn, South Carolina

“The Diamond Tip of the Golden Strip”

Welcome to Fountain Inn, South Carolina and all the best that we have to offer! Thru-out our website you will discover why Fountain Inn has become known as The Diamond Tip of the Golden Strip. Nestled in the Upstate of South Carolina, a region of all seasons, Fountain Inn is filled with abundant natural beauty and charming history. Our City's hospitality and warm friendly people are second only to the fun, exciting adventures you'll find here!

Since its incorporation July 3, 1954, The Fountain Inn Chamber of Commerce has served the area as a non-profit professional organization. The Chamber’s mission is to promote the increased profitability of area businesses through a strong economy. Our membership is committed to the concept that there is enormous strength in unity, and great benefit to be gained in the exchange of information and ideas.The Chamber created a new “Member-2-Member” Discount program where our business members offer their specific discounts to our Chamber members. It has proven to be a very successful program by helping increase business for those participants.  Monthly Business After Hours are held for our members to relax, network and meet new friends.

Our Chamber and the City of Fountain Inn continue to work together to bring great things to our city. Restaurants, retail businesses, and service oriented businesses combine to help create the charming Downtown area of yesterday. The new Commerce Park and Farmers Market were only a dream a few years ago. Today, it is reality. The Chamber of Commerce, Visitor Center and the Fountain Inn History Center are now located in the beautiful Commerce Park building. The new Farmers Market Pavilion held its grand opening in June 2010 and has quickly proved itself a winner. Each Saturday from May until the end of September, an estimated crowd of 400 to 700 shoppers looking for “locally grown” vegetables come here to shop. Those same shoppers enjoy strolling down Main Street where they continue to shop for various arts and crafts, consignment clothing and furniture, and antique items. Afterwards, our shoppers and visitors enjoy the various delectable food items served in the local restaurants located around town.

The Chamber sponsors many events throughout the year for the enjoyment of our membership, citizens, visitors and guests. Our annual events include: The Chamber’s Annual William D. “Bill” Abercrombie Memorial Golf Tournament, The Annual Aunt Het Festival (Always the first Saturday in October), the annual Christmas parade which kicks off The Spirit of Christmas Past Festival, the annual horse show and the Chamber’s Annual Banquet.

Whether you come for business or pleasure, Fountain Inn offers a welcome respite from “big city” stress and congestion and offers a unique business climate. Come and be a part of the excitement, whether for a day, a week or a lifetime.

We invite you to visit us soon and discover why we are known as “The Diamond Tip of the Golden Strip.”
