Indiana Original's Member Spotlight

Indiana Originals takes local to a new level. They have a mission to create healthier, stronger communities with local independent Indiana businesses. In an effort to make supporting independent businesses easier they have developed a new mobile phone app helping Hoosiers find and support local businesses faster and easier. Indiana Originals takes the guesswork out of identifying local businesses and nonprofits by supplying a curated list of Indiana owned-and-operated companies, headquartered in Indiana and not part of an out-of-state chain. The application features a map allowing users to select a location and see Indiana Originals in that area.

“Independent businesses put three to five times more money back into our local economy,” said Mel McMahon, co-founder of Indiana Originals. “Our members want to stand out from their national competitors and let the consumers know they are here creating healthier, stronger communities and more jobs in Indiana. We exist to encourage a local preference and facilitate greater use of local services, art, food and more. Every business on IndianaOriginals.com and our app is certified local. When you see the badge, you know you are supporting local.”
