ABOUT US
“The people who give you their food give you their heart” - Ceasar Chavez
THE BEGINNING
AMOr began with a simple idea: local businesses deserves more love. Small
eateries spots are the soul of our cities, and we’re here to help people
find them, support them, and keep their stories alive.
In
todays world it is getting harder for smaller businesses to withstand
competition against global corporations. We had to find the solution to
help the ones that deserve more recognition and love.
People tend to go to city center instead of exploring their own communities
and areas nearby. This results in money leaving the local economy. That is
why we found a solution to end this inequality!
MISSION AND VISION
Our mission is to bring people closer to the heart of their community by
inspiring them to discover and support local food businesses. Through
curiosity, exploration, and shared experiences, we want to make it simple
and exciting to choose local first.
Our vision is a future where communities thrive through
meaningful connections, where neighborhoods are filled with unique tastes,
stories, and small businesses that stand strong — not overshadowed by
global competition.
STRONGER LOCAL ECONOMIES
Supporting local food businesses isn’t only about great taste, it’s a direct investment into the local economy. When people choose independent restaurants, cafés, bakeries, and food producers, money stays within the community. It circulates between owners, suppliers, workers, and residents, leading to more jobs, stronger families, and healthier neighborhoods.
FAQ

When you support local businesses, your money circulates within the community. This creates a multiplier effect where each dollar spent locally generates additional economic activity, supporting local jobs, schools, and community services rather than flowing to distant corporate headquarters.
Local businesses are often the first employers for young people entering the workforce. They provide training, mentorship, and opportunities for entrepreneurship that help build a skilled local workforce and inspire the next generation of business owners.
Local businesses are run by your neighbors who live in and care about your community. They know your name, remember your preferences, and invest in local causes. This creates a sense of belonging and community cohesion that chain stores simply cannot replicate.
Small businesses bring unique products, services, and experiences to your community. Your support enables them to experiment with new ideas, maintain quality standards, and offer alternatives to mass-market options, creating a more diverse and interesting local landscape.
Studies show that for every $100 spent at a local business, approximately $68 stays in the local economy compared to only $43 when spent at chain stores. This multiplier effect creates sustained economic growth and resilience within the community.
