About

Run by people who live here.

Shop Local Delmarva is run by Justin Garner and a small team on the Shore.

It started with a simple habit everyone here already has: when you need someone, you ask a neighbor. We built a place for those questions and answers to live, so the next person who asks can find them.

We make money from local businesses who join as members. We don’t sell ads, we don’t sell rankings, and we don’t sell your information. That’s the whole model.

What we believe

Three things we won’t change.

Local first

Every business on Shop Local serves people on the peninsula.

No paid rankings

Nobody buys their way to the top. Neighbors decide who gets named.

A real person answers

Members and neighbors can reach a person, not a ticket queue.
