About Us

What's Unique About Uniquely Local?

A combination retail shop, online store, and business incubator, Uniquely Local is a concept like no other in South Central Pennsylvania.

Founder Joy Bailey started Uniquely Local to give the public a “uniquely local” shopping experience and give local vendors a way to grow their businesses—and revenue—affordably.

What Will You Find When You Visit Us?

We will sell high-quality manufactured and handcrafted products—all made by vendors in Berks County and surrounding areas—to offer a fun and rewarding shopping experience.

You’ll find a wide variety of items including gifts and practical goods, with inventory changing regularly, so you can always count on something new and exciting when browsing.

How Do We Support Local Businesses?
If you’re a product manufacturer, craftsperson, artisan, or artist in South Central PA, Uniquely Local wants to help your business succeed. We offer several different options for how you can work with us:

Showcase and sell your creations in our retail shop – We manage the displays and staff the store. You pay nothing upfront and compensate us according to a percentage of your sales (commission basis) monthly.
Sell your products online via our website – We upload your business bio, product images, details, and pricing. You pay nothing upfront and compensate us according to a percentage of each sale when items are purchased.
Rent a boutique space within our store – Have your own store within our store for an ultra-affordable rental fee and a reduced commission percentage.

We will select vendors through an application and interview process to ensure there’s a good fit all around—for the vendor, Uniquely Local, and our customers.
