Live and Breath it!
"If you don't live and breathe it, you can't create something amazing" - Noya's Kitchen.
Seeing the strength of the independent community rise to challenges again and again in the City of Bath and indie pockets across the globe is nothing short of inspiring. It's no secret that running a small business comes with equal highs and lows and with xplore we want to boost our local legends up and help grow their communities. Much like Noya, by choosing to live more locally and by choosing to use xplore you're helping create something amazing.
Which business owners in your local world do you want to shout about, show your support and look to for inspiration?
Keep supporting, and keep xploring!
What people are saying
Why we made xplore
We believe our cities and towns should be filled with unique, independent businesses—not just corporate chains, betting shops and shuttered windows.
xplore’s mission is to:
- Make it easier for people to discover independent businesses.
- Help small businesses thrive in a world dominated by big brands.
- Keep money in local communities.
- Reignite the charm and character of our towns and cities.
- Put humanity back into commerce
Join us in bringing back local.
