LOCAL IS LEKKER APP
Connecting Locals
Discover the Best Local Businesses with Local is Lekker App
OuR JOURNEY
Our Journey started back in March 2018 , when we Developed an Published the Local is Lekker mobile App , which did extremely well, and was very popular with many locals and local businesses alike.
When Lockdowns hit in 2020 ,
a few very distinctive things took place:
The Highlights:
Being the first in South Africa (from what we could find online) to offer delivery of household essentials & groceries via the App in collaboration with a Local Food distribution company, which ultimately seemed like what the App was intended for.
Reference our Facebook for the History
We hosted the very first drive through Basaar for Philadelphia NG Kerk - which has been going for over 150 years, we were truly honored to have been asked to do it, and it was a massive success.
We collaborated with various organisations, one being the Veterans Cricket Association of South Africa to provide grocery Hampers to the disadvantaged communities , that locals could buy an donate. Donations for this came in from England as well BBC Radio Discussion - Listen
It was a remarkably humbling experience, at the same time massively inspiring to see Locals helping each other through this very challenging period.
The Downside:
Around 60-70% of our listed small businesses closed their doors, which is a staggering number, and words cannot contextualise it, it was just truly very sad to witness.
The EVOLUTION:
With the ever changing world of technology , we made the decision last year to to move our platform to our website ,
as webapp links are far lighter on mobile devices, and require no updates like mobile apps do.
We focused on providing first world solutions at our Lekker Local price points, keeping it real & affordable for
Local businesses to stay connected, relevant and visible.
