Looking for Locally owned Businesses
in Colorado Springs?

Colorado Springs knows the power of community!  Just think of how we helped each other during the fires last summer and you’ll know it’s true.

Your community isn’t just your friends and family. It’s also your neighbors, the people you work with, the local shopkeepers and the farmers you meet at the farmers’ market.

You know them. You like them and you trust them. They are your neighbors and their hard work supports our local economy.

That’s why you would rather do business with them than strangers.

“Thank you for the beautiful story—it brought many views to my Etsy shop and two sales so far!”

—Evelina S., Jewelry Artist and Owner of Evaline Jewelry

Well, that and because they have great products! Local farms sell fresher, cleaner vegetables, local bakeries offer tastier baked goods and independent local professionals offer more personalized service.

If only they were easier to find when you needed them! Without the advertising budget of larger companies, local businesses struggle to make themselves known.

We want to help you help them!
