Local Marketplace App 'Little Local' Launches to Support Coral Gables Businesses

Just a 25-minute drive from Miami, Coral Gables is a prime spot to discover and support local businesses, and the new app Little Local offers a perfect way to do just that. Set to launch on November 20, Little Local is an innovative online marketplace dedicated to connecting Coral Gables entrepreneurs directly with consumers, showcasing the city’s unique businesses and fostering local economic growth.

Developed with small business owners in mind, Little Local provides a user-friendly platform for entrepreneurs to highlight their products and services. The marketplace features an eclectic range of offerings, from artisanal foods and handmade crafts to boutique clothing and specialty gifts, celebrating the distinct character and creativity of the Coral Gables community.

"We believe that every small business has a story to tell and a product to share,” said Kylie Wang, co-founder of Little Local. Katelin Stecz, also a co-founder, emphasized the platform’s purpose: "We created Little Local so you don’t have to sacrifice convenience for a connection with your community.”

The app organizes items into easily searchable categories, making it simple for shoppers to find local products while supporting Coral Gables’ economy. Additionally, Little Local will feature engaging content, from business owner stories to updates on community events, shared through its social media and weekly newsletter.
To mark its launch, Little Local is hosting a kickoff event at Bay 13 Brewery & Kitchen (65 Alhambra Plaza) on November 20. The celebration will include a vendor showcase, artisan market, exclusive promotions, and the chance for locals to connect directly with the businesses represented on the app.

Residents of Coral Gables, including anyone interested in supporting local businesses, are encouraged to join in this new venture that combines convenience with community support, creating a vibrant local shopping experience.
