Local Bond shop where you belong
Our Story

Why we built Local Bond.

Find and buy from the local businesses that make a place feel like home.

Tomasini's Rex Ace Hardware on a tree-lined street in downtown Petaluma

Downtown Petaluma — Tomasini's Rex Ace Hardware & Country Store, serving the community since 1907.

Local Bond makes the local choice as easy as the default one. Type in what you're looking for, and we show you where to get it nearby — ranked by how close it is and how much it keeps working in your community. No ads, no endless scroll — just a short, honest list, including the local places that offer things the big platforms simply can't.

A town is its local businesses. They're what make a place feel like itself instead of Anywhere, USA — the owner who knows your name, the shop that sponsors the little league, the advice that comes from a neighbor instead of an algorithm. You can feel it all over Petaluma: the extra mile the people at Ace, Friedman's, and Copperfield's Books go for their customers; El Roy's backing local youth sports; Refill Mercantile caring for both the community and the planet. These aren't logos on a page — they're what make Petaluma, Petaluma.

So that's where we're starting — the town we know best. From here, Local Bond grows the way a community does: not through big marketing budgets, but neighbor by neighbor, town by town, carried by the people who love where they live. We'd rather build this with our community than for it. If you believe your town is worth showing up for, you already belong here.

Shop where you belong.

Next time you're about to buy online, look local first — and see what's right around the corner.
