Rooted in the Cape Region
Locally owned businesses keep our communities connected and thriving.
Yes, We’re Local is a united group of locally owned and operated small businesses that give back to the community, strengthen our local economy, and help shape the distinct character that makes the Delaware beaches such a special place to live, work, and visit. These businesses are more than places to shop, dine, and hire; they are woven into the identity of our towns and the spirit of our coastal community. When you choose to spend with a Yes, We’re Local business, your support becomes part of a virtuous circle where more of that spending is reinvested close to home through local jobs, charitable giving, youth programs, community events, and the many causes that help our region thrive.
Yes, We’re Local is a community initiative presented by the Cape Gazette with support from Community Bank, helping strengthen locally owned businesses and the communities they serve.

Every $100 spent with a locally owned business can create
more than three times the benefit for the local community
compared with spending at a national chain.

When you support a Yes, We’re Local member, you are supporting a business that is locally owned, locally operated, and locally committed to the future of the Cape Region.
