Beckley Expands Trade Radius to 40 Miles
A Beckley News Papers Corporation survey shows the city’s trade territory now includes 126,859 people, 67 percent more than five years ago. The average radius extends 40 miles, boosted by toll bridge changes, road improvements, and strong newspaper circulation. Local merchants credit Chamber efforts and Beckley’s location in the Smokeless Coal region for expanding retail reach toward Charleston and Bluefield, with no eastern or western rivals.
