Our Philosophy

At Locarie, we believe that independent businesses are the heart and soul of our neighbourhoods. They’re the familiar faces we rely on, the unique spots that give our communities their personality. By supporting and connecting these local businesses, we can make everyday life a little richer and a lot more personal.


We’ve created Locarie to make it easy for people to discover and connect with the small, local shops that make their area special. It’s not just about finding a place to grab a coffee or pick up a gift – it’s about sharing the stories and passion behind these businesses. We want Locarie to feel like a window into your community, where updates flow freely between shops and customers, and every interaction feels genuine.


For us, authenticity is everything. We don’t want polished, corporate voices – we want the real stories behind the businesses, the people who run them, and the unique offerings they bring to the table. Locarie is a place where local indies can be themselves and share what makes them different in a way that’s true to who they are.


Inclusivity is just as important. Our aim is to create a platform where everyone feels welcome. Whether it’s a tiny corner bakery or a new artisan shop, every business deserves a chance to shine, and every customer should feel like they belong.


We also embrace spontaneity. Life in our communities moves quickly, and so do the offerings from local businesses. Whether it’s a pop-up event or a last-minute sale, Locarie is designed to keep you in the loop with real-time updates, so you don’t miss out on those little surprises that make your neighbourhood exciting.


At the heart of it all is community. Locarie isn’t just an app – it’s a way to bring people together. We want to build something that strengthens the bonds between local shops and the people who support them. It’s about creating real connections, a sense of belonging, and helping our neighbourhoods thrive.


Locarie is here to help you feel more connected to the community of independent businesses, to keep you informed, and to make it easier for you to discover these gems that make a neighbourhood so special.
