About NearBuy
Our Story
NearBuy was born from a simple idea: that the heart of our community lies on its Main Street. In an age dominated by massive online retailers, we saw local businesses—the artisans, the family-owned shops, the innovative service providers—struggling to get a fair shot. We knew that the power of e-commerce could be harnessed for good, not just for corporate giants. So, we set out to build a platform that would bridge the gap, making it as easy to shop from your neighbors as it is from a national chain.
What We Do
We are a centralized, hyper-local marketplace dedicated to the businesses and communities of the Tri-Cities, with our pilot program starting in Kingsport.
Our mission is to empower our local economy by offering:
A seamless shopping experience
We give customers a single, intuitive platform to discover and purchase products and services from hundreds of local businesses, complete with fast, local delivery.
A powerful tool for businesses
We handle all the technical details, from web design and payment processing to marketing support, allowing business owners to focus on what they do best.
A community hub
We are more than just a platform; we are a partner. Our tiered plans provide professional services like product photography and social media promotions, ensuring our businesses not only survive but thrive.
Why NearBuy?
We believe that every dollar spent locally has a ripple effect, supporting jobs, strengthening families, and enriching the unique culture of our region. When you shop with NearBuy, you’re not just making a purchase—you're making a direct investment in your community.
