About Us

Who we are.

localshops1.com is a division of Local Shopper, LLC.

We are committed to promoting locally owned, independent shops. We’re starting out in west-central Florida, and our goal is to be the nation’s premier directory of independents. We hope this site is a place where shoppers and business owners can come to network, on social and business levels. Exchange ideas, post sales, become involved in the community. And we'll be planning lots of other fun things along the way. We're always open to your ideas.
