The Chesapeake Market

Why Chesapeake Matters for E-Commerce

Chesapeake is one of the largest U.S. cities by land area — 351 square miles spanning everything from the urbanized Greenbrier and South Norfolk corridors to the rural Great Dismal Swamp and farmland along the North Carolina border. The city was formed in 1963 by the merger of South Norfolk and Norfolk County, and has since grown into the second-largest city in Virginia by population.

Economically, Chesapeake plays the suburban role to Norfolk's downtown core, anchoring military families stationed at Naval Station Norfolk and Naval Air Station Oceana, plus a substantial industrial and logistics base. The Norfolk Southern intermodal terminal, Sumitomo Drive Technologies' U.S. operations, Dollar Tree's corporate headquarters, and the Port of Virginia's southern terminals all sit in or adjacent to Chesapeake. For e-commerce, this is a stable suburban Hampton Roads buyer market with strong family CPG and military reorder patterns.

  • 351 square miles — among the largest U.S. cities by land area
  • 2nd-largest city in Virginia by population (after Virginia Beach)
  • Dollar Tree corporate headquarters located in Chesapeake
  • Norfolk Southern intermodal terminal is one of the busiest on the East Coast
  • Borders the Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge
