Shop Iowa Local was born from a simple idea: when we support local, we all thrive. As big-box stores and online giants dominate the market, too many of Iowa’s unique shops, family-run restaurants, and community-rooted services get overlooked. We're here to change that.

Our platform makes it easy to explore Iowa's hidden gems — whether you're in Des Moines, Decorah, or anywhere in between. With a growing directory of local businesses across every region of the state, we help you shop, dine, and connect closer to home.

We're not just a website — we're a movement to rebuild local economies, strengthen communities, and remind Iowans of the value that lives right next door.
