We are The Locals Collective, a place for locals to support Small Business on the Gold Coast.

Formally known as Crave Gold Coast, we have rebranded with a new name and a new concept. During the recent few years where the importance to support small business has been highly elevated, we wanted to open up ourselves to more than just food & drink.

We want to add focus on our local small businesses who need support and exposure. Artisans who create handmade products, tradies who provide services, businesses that can make your next event special.

So we hope you will join us on our new journey to explore more of what our locals are doing in our area. As we learn more about them we will share with you their stories and how you can support them too.

Below you will find a few of our favourite local small businesses that have signed up to be a part of The Locals Collective family.

Please feel free to click on their photos to learn more about them. If you are wanting to support local small businesses on the Gold Coast, you will find out how you can support them here:

The most commonly asked questions we get from our followers is "Where can I get a special birthday cake from?' 'Who can do catering for a party?' 'I need flowers for my wedding, do you know of anyone local?' and so many more...

We have gathered our favourite local businesses that offer products or services that you need for your next special event and put them all in the one place for you.

As we grow, our Party Guide will be a one stop site for everything parties and celebrations. From cake makers to florists to venues and everything else, the party guide will have it.

There are so many creative locals on the Gold Coast who have started their own business. Most work from home, attend local markets and use social media to share their amazing products. Making candles, beautiful jewellery, handmade bags, gorgeous homewares and so much more.

Here at The Locals Store we showcase those talented local small businesses, like an online marketplace. So feel free to browse their stores, purchase their products or services, tell your friends about them or just show them your support.

Our main focus here at The Locals Collective is to Support Local Businesses.. so we would love for you to join us.

Whether you are a small home based business or you have a business in a retail space we want to get your business seen by our locals.. and we can do this TOGETHER! Let's build a collective of locals and local businesses, a community of likeminded souls with the intentions of helping those around us.
