What is Localee's Mission?

At Localee, our mission is to bring the heart and soul of Omaha, Nebraska, directly to your doorstep. We are passionate about supporting talented local  makers who infuse our community with creativity and craftsmanship. By providing a shared marketplace, Localee not only empowers these makers but also offers you the opportunity to discover and enjoy the finest local goods with ease and convenience. 

A note from our Founder - 

Hi, I'm Britney (Brit) Gibilisco

"In my personal life, I love to cook, explore new things, (especially food) and spend time with my husband and son. In my professional life, I have been a lot of things - sales manager, account manager, product manager, entrepreneur program manager and restaurant founder/owner. Localee was conceptualized through these experiences and I have spent the past two years bringing it to life. My vision for Localee is simple - to connect local entrepreneurs to each other and to local consumers. I’m so excited to get to work with you and create something great for our community."

What to Expect from Localee

For those of you who have or who are starting this journey along with us, we thank you for following along. We are so excited to share the stories and goods behind so many talented local makers. Our platform is more than just a showcase—it's a celebration of their unique stories an goods. 

Aside from unique, small-batch local products, you can be expected to always be surprised by diverse range of offerings and the touching narratives woven into each product by our makers. In a world accustomed to swift and easily accessible commodities, small businesses face the challenge of meeting shipping demands set by larger corporations—yes, those big names we're all familiar with. Our vision is to alleviate the logistical burdens for these artisans by creating a collective marketplace, allowing them to focus on perfecting their craft while their creations take the spotlight in a vibrant community setting. 

What does the future hold for Localee?

Together, we're building a vibrant, connected community that celebrates the unique talents of our local artisans, making it easier than ever for you to shop local and savor the distinctive flavors of our city. Join us in our mission to create a stronger, more resilient local economy, one delivery at a time.
