New Map Helps Shoppers Find Local Shops and Avoid Chains

Original: If you like to shop local shops, give our map a try. You can search for categories (clothing shops, opticians, bakeries

A new interactive map called Lokjo lets users search for local businesses by category, such as clothing shops, opticians and bakeries, while marking corporate chains with a grey dot so shoppers can distinguish them. The map is available in five languages, including French, English, Dutch and German, and is being promoted as a tool for people who want to support independent local shops over large corporations.

Why now: Growing interest in supporting local businesses and distinguishing them from corporate chains.
