Local Info Market Engine

Allowing small businesses to grow and thrive.

Hard To Find Local Stores

Small businesses, specialty stores, and international markets lack the tools and platform to market their products, promote their businesses, and drive a local foot traffic to their stores. Shoppers lack an application to search for specialized product nearby, at a affordable cost, and to contribute to their local economy.

L.I.M.E. will provide a centralized database for local stores to promote their products, advertise their business, and offer a variety of commodities. Shoppers will be able to use our application to access items sold by their local specialty store, support local businesses, and offer personalized experience.
