Networking
We connect members through breakfasts, mixers, and introductions that turn neighbors into partners.
Welcome to the Runnemede Chamber of Commerce
Founded in 2022 with the vision of improving our business community, Runnemede sits in the heart of New Jersey — a vibrant borough known for its strong business environment and welcoming atmosphere. Our location in Camden County offers prime access to major transportation routes: Exit 3 of the New Jersey Turnpike, Routes 42, 76, 295, the Atlantic City Expressway, and just minutes across the Ben Franklin or Walt Whitman Bridges into Philadelphia and I‑95. That connectivity makes Runnemede an ideal place to open, grow, and sustain a local business.
The Runnemede Chamber of Commerce is a volunteer-based, non-profit organization dedicated to making Runnemede a thriving place to own a business, live, and work. Our mission is to unite the business community and advocate for business-friendly policies that foster economic growth and prosperity.
We bring attention to local businesses through initiatives such as “Shop Runnemede,” the annual Runnemede Pike Jam, quarterly networking events, and special programming — encouraging residents and visitors to support our shops and services. We also work to strengthen communication between the Borough and the business community, and to bring civic groups, residents, and members together.
