From the founder
Hi, I'm Chris Ragan.
I built Saline Local because I got tired of watching my neighbors drive past great local businesses to spend money at a chain — not because they preferred it, but because they didn't know what was right down the road.
I personally interview every business owner before they're featured here. I ask the questions you'd ask a trusted friend: Is it worth my time? Do they actually stand behind their work? If the answer is yes, they earn a spot on Saline Local.
This isn't a platform built by an algorithm in San Francisco. It's a neighbor-to-neighbor project, built in Saline County, for Saline County.
