They believe in their neighbors. In local jobs. In building a community that stands tall and looks out for one another.

In Sioux Falls, we call them Local Legends.

Who Are Local Legends?

Local Legends are everyday Sioux Falls shoppers who make extraordinary choices. They choose to hire local, shop local, eat local — because they understand that every dollar spent locally is a vote for the future of our city.

When you support a hometown business, you’re helping a young entrepreneur keep their dream alive, keeping families employed, and ensuring that businesses that give back to the community can continue to do so.

Local Legends are more than customers — they are investors in our culture, our economy, and our connection to one another. They don’t just “buy things.” They build things. And what they build is worth honoring.

Local Legends make Sioux Falls stronger, more connected, and more vibrant with every choice they make.

Among the Local Legends is a growing circle of shoppers who go even further — we call them Sioux Falls GO VIP Shoppers. They’re not just passionate about shopping local… they’ve turned it into a mission.

The Symbols That Matter: What to Look For

To spot a Local-Legend-approved business, keep an eye out for these meaningful badges on Sioux Falls GO:

• Gives Back Banner – This means the business participates in giveaways and offers discounts to locals to create engagement.

• Community Champion Badge – These businesses don’t just operate locally, they advocate for community causes and go above and beyond to serve Sioux Falls.

• ZIP Authority – An elite badge earned by select community champion businesses for excellence. Only one business per industry, per ZIP code — representing the gold standard of local leadership, service, and impact.

Why It Matters

Because shopping locally isn’t just a transaction. It’s a transformation.

It transforms strangers into neighbors. It turns one small purchase into a ripple effect that strengthens jobs, schools, services, and the overall spirit of Sioux Falls.

And for the first time, there’s a platform built to make local shopping exciting, rewarding, and truly meaningful. That’s what Sioux Falls GO is.
