Hey everyone, Shane here from Love You Local and I love Fond du Lac.

Unfortunately, the website isn’t quite ready yet, but we’re expecting it to launch within the next few days to a week.

When it does, it’s going to be a multi-vendor marketplace for small, product-based shops in our community. As we all know, small businesses are the heart of Fond du Lac, and we want to do something meaningful to help them succeed.

In today’s convenience-based economy, big e-commerce and big box stores are taking over, and small local businesses often struggle to compete. That’s why we’re building this platform: to help our local shops thrive in a digital world.

The site will bring all of our local stores together in one place, making it easy for you to shop online, but still shop local.

If you live in Fond du Lac, within five miles of a participating shop, many of them will offer same-day delivery. That means you can get your order at your door quickly. Prefer to pick it up? You can do that too. And if you’re outside the area, no worries, standard shipping will be available through regular carriers.

So stay tuned, we’re excited to support our local small businesses, and we can’t wait to share the site with you soon.
