Why buy-local.net?

buy-local.net is a multi award winning local community website offering local people the opportunity to purchase only locally produced and sourced groceries.

According to IGD figures, the £2.4bn UK online grocery markets will more than double over the next 5 years to reach £5bn in 2012. Online grocery retailing sales have already grown by 30% in the past year, with 1 in 10 customers saying they won’t visit a supermarket in 5 to 10 years time, doing all their shopping online. 40% say they would like to use ‘Specialist Stores’ for at least part of their shopping in 5 to 10 years time. Despite all this growth, the online grocery market is still only 2% of the overall grocery trade, but growing 6 times as fast. 61% of UK households are now on the internet, with 18% buying some form of groceries online.

A buy-local.net franchise is the perfect opportunity to build your own business in line with the modern food market direction for high quality, local & ethical food, with minimal 'Food Miles', reduced packaging and waste, and a sustainable supply chain.

About Our Franchise?

A buy-local.net franchise offers you a complete toolkit to get your own business off the ground. We have a proven package of software, equipment, training and marketing that within a few months will see you launching your own buy-local territory.

What is so exciting about this opportunity is that we give you the tools, and you get out there and explore the opportunities for supply of quality, local produce. What makes buy-local so unique is that every area will be different, with its own unique flavours and great artisan products.

Once we have given you the initial training of what to expect when establishing your supply base, its then down to you to build your own “Virtual Farmers Market”.

You will have to complete your local market research, build your marketing campaign, launch your website, and then be the proud delivery driver to your very own buy-local customers!
