Meet the Localist Card
Shop Local. Dine Local. Live Local. ...
... And save along the way!
Help us build a stronger, more vibrant Lowcountry. When you get your Localist Card, you get exclusive perks at local shops, restaurants, and service providers. This isn't just a discount card; it's a commitment to support your neighbors.
The Localist Card is designed to promote year-round local spending, drive consistent support to small businesses, and strengthen the relationships that make the Lowcountry so special. Every time you use your card, you’re putting your dollars where your heart is – supporting local entrepreneurs, preserving the character of our region, and building a more resilient local economy.
Whether you're a resident who loves to shop small or a visitor wanting to experience the best of the Lowcountry, the Localist Card makes it easy (and rewarding!) to support your favorite neighborhood spots.
Card benefits last for 14 months! Starting each November 1st, the next year’s Localist Card will launch. This inaugural year we are launching our 2026 Localist Card on November 1, 2025. It will expire December 31, 2026, so act fast to get the most out of your Localist Card!
