Who we are
The Local Hub was created by Mandy-a local wife, mom, business owner and community-first connector who believes business should feel human, not transactional.
Before The Local Hub, Mandy owned and ran Food on Demand for three years-building it from the ground up through trust, consistency, and an incredible local community that showed up again and again to support small business restaurants. That experience gave her firsthand insight into what actually works: real relationships, honest promotion, and showing up for people in meaningful ways.
For more than 10 years, Mandy has also helped run and market her husband Jason’s construction company, working behind the scenes on branding, visibility, referrals, and community connection. She understands the realities of small business ownership-long days, tight margins, wearing every hat, and the pressures of keeping things moving while taking care of customers and famiy.
Helping businesses grow isnt something Mandy learned from a course-its something she lives and breathes.
WHY I STARTED THE LOCAL HUB
I thrive on helping others succeed.
After years of working alongside small business owners-and being one myself-I saw too many incredible local businesses getting overlooked. Honest, hardworking people were being drowned out by big ads, polished marketing, and companies with no real connection to the communities they served.
I started The Local Hub to bring the human back into business.
This isn’t about algorithms or hype. Its about trust, relationships, and real people behind the logos. Every business featured through The Local Hub is one I’ve taken the time to know-how they operate, how they treat customers, and how they show up for the community.
The Local Hub exists to:
-Help people support local with confidence
-Give business owners visibility rooted in trust
-Create real connections-not just transactions
This is a space where owners matter. Families matter. Community matters.
Fearlessly Local. Unapologetically Honest.
WHEN LOCAL BUSINESSES WIN, OUR COMMUNITIES WIN-AND THATS WHAT DRIVES EVERYTHING I DO.
