Discover the incredible work of the Murrieta-Wildomar Chamber of Commerce as Patrick Ellis, ACE , President and CEO, shares the Chamber's initiatives that fuel economic growth, create job opportunities, and enrich the lives of local residents. Whether you’re a business owner, new resident, or long-time community member, here’s how the Chamber is shaping the future of Murrieta and Wildomar.
1. Forging Connections with National Retailers
By building relationships with big-name retailers like Costco and Trader Joe’s, the Chamber ensures Murrieta and Wildomar residents have convenient shopping options close to home. Patrick shared how persistence and consistent outreach at retail industry conferences have helped attract these brands, enhancing local commerce and minimizing the need for residents to travel far for quality shopping.
2. Championing Local Restaurants with Restaurant Month
Every March, the Chamber shines a spotlight on local eateries through its Restaurant Month initiative. This month-long event encourages residents to explore a diverse array of local restaurants, often featuring special deals and giveaways to support small businesses. The program not only drives business to local establishments but also builds a sense of community.
3. Supporting Major Economic Development Projects

4. Focusing on Workforce Housing Solutions
With a mission to provide affordable housing for Murrieta’s growing workforce, the Chamber has championed multifamily housing developments that allow local employees to live closer to their jobs.
