We Get It. You’re Not Just A Business Owner.
We know you’re more than just a business owner—you’re a vital part of our community. You employ our neighbors, support local businesses, and give generously to nonprofits, helping our entire community thrive. From the bottom of our hearts—thank you.
Big box stores and Big Tech platforms continue to squeeze out the little guys, taking billions from our local communities without reinvesting a dime. At WhirLocal, we’re more than a media company or software platform—we’re a movement dedicated to championing local businesses, nonprofits, and the people who call our communities home.
That’s why we created WhirLocal—to give businesses like yours a better option. Through our memberships and sponsorships, we amplify your online presence and help you connect with your community. With a digital magazine, business directory, and alternatives to corporate review sites, we make it easier for community members to discover and support businesses like yours.
We like to say “We’re Local & Proud of it”™. As a small business ourselves, local is in our DNA. You’re not a number; you’ve got a name, and your story deserves to be told.
