Birmingham Locals is a Membership Co-op for those who view their spending as a vote for Birmingham's future. Join the Founders Pilot and discover the best independent creators, makers, and spaces in our city.
Discover the Best. Support the Makers.
"Birmingham Locals acts as the connective tissue for our city's independent economy."
Research consistently shows that for every $100 spent at a locally owned business, roughly $68 stays in the local economy.
Compare that to only $43 for non-local chains. When you use your Birmingham Locals card, you aren't just getting a perk—you are directly funding our city's tax base, local employment, and cultural vibrancy.
We connect Birmingham's most dedicated residents with its most inspiring creators.
This is a membership that rewards commitment, fosters community, and ensures every dollar spent builds the city we love. Holding this card signals your status as an active participant in the civic and social fabric of Birmingham.
