Our Team
"Local is the lifeblood of America" isn't just a nice tagline for us. We road tripped from Sarasota, FL to Seattle, WA, and EXPERIENCED this 1st-hand. We know and love this space and it's vital to our country and communities.
Why Yocal?
Big box retail & chains are great money machines, but they are turning our cities into cookiecutter-ville. Locally-owned, independent businesses are the heart and soul of America. Consumers want to support these businesses but have no platform to turn to find them.
Big Tech Won't Help
National corporations have completely diluted the term "local". On top of that, current platforms depend on revenue from e-commerce, corporations, and franchises.
