"It's about the economy, stupid!" - James Carville

To us, supporting local businesses doesn't stop with the economy - It is all about creating a stable and vibrant community! Lodi & Valley Springs businesses create jobs (tax revenue for schools, parks, roads) while offering diversity in the marketplace, with unique products and services not found in big-box stores or chain restaurants. Not to mention - these local business are owned by the very people who sponsor our little leagues, donate to our local charities, and volunteer for our community events - giving back to the community in countless ways. You rely on them, but can they rely on you?

RelyLocal is a Community Campaign

There are plenty of "local" online directories and various "buy local" movements sprouting up across the country. Unfortunately, most of the other websites simply buy (or steal) their data from giant databases full of national chains, while selling advertising to the highest bidder (the national chains). Only RelyLocal is locally owned and operated by your neighbors who really understand what Lodi & Valley Springs businesses are up against. RelyLocal isn't just a website - it is a community campaign to rebuild our local economy and strengthen our community!
