Gillette's Energy Capital Market

Gillette calls itself the Energy Capital of the Nation — the center of Wyoming's Powder River Basin coal mining operations, the most productive coal region in the United States. The energy workforce creates the city's economy and its professional walking market. Energy workers have good incomes and demanding schedules that can create genuine professional walking needs.

The city's character is intensely practical — built for extraction industry workers and their families rather than tourism or recreation. The professional walking market reflects this: straightforward, relationship-based, and value-oriented.
