About Us

Local Jones lets people use their cell phones to discover, recommend, and spread the word about the cool, independently-owned businesses that fly below most people’s radar. In many cases the restaurants, clubs, and retail locations described on Local Jones are well known and respected within their neighborhoods, but remain relatively unknown to outsiders.

In an era where large national competitors are pouring millions of dollars into advertising and branding, forcing small “mom and pops” out of business, Local Jones is finding a way to give small business a fighting chance. By capturing what folks are saying about the businesses they love and getting them to say it to others, Local Jones is building the foundation for a capitalist revolution where consumers, not corporations, dictate what matters most in our communities.

In the coming weeks and months, Local Jones will be adding features to this site that will not only level the playing field for small businesses everywhere, but will also introduce people to a whole new way of discovering what’s new or provocative in their city.

If you’re interested in discovering and sustaining what makes your city cool, please make sign up so we can keep you updated on the latest developments with Local Jones.
