Luckily, Lokjo also has a dutch language option, you know, in case you'd like to try it out for shopping on saturdays. 😉

Corporates:

'Our hyper scaling chocolate bars accelerate your status growth because they are shaped like bars and may contain chocolate. #Quality.'

Local companies:

'Have a chocolate bar, its our own recipe.'

A chart explaining when youi use corporate products/services you support things like lobbying, polution, forced labour, profit wars and corporations buying up european competition, which profits even more corporations and not you. And when you use local shops, you support social care, higher wages and a fair economy, which comes back to you.

If you favor normally/fair produced products, go check out your local street-market.

Outside of the regular veggies, people sell their own produced clothing, art, decoration things, or just darn good food. There's always something nice to find.

Before you buy on amazon, check if the product-company has their own website and order it there.

This way the shop gets the full price, and corporations have less investment.

Have a great weekend you all. 😊

Well this sums it up alright.

The choice IS yours.

Go non-corporate.

Time for a different bar to go for a friday after-work beer?

Just go here: https://lokjo.com and search for.....

wait for it....

...waaaaaait for it..

...'bars'.

It'll litteraly show ALL bars. No ads, no corporate 'suggested' on top or bars being hidden because they're too small, or any other crap.

You ask for bars, Lokjo shows them all. That's how we do. 😊

Here's how the filter works which sorts out corporations/chains from the search-results on our map:

Per category a list is generated from all locations in various big cities. When a certain name shows up an x amount of times it get's a 'mention'.

Then, all mentions are checked manually to see if it's actually a company and not something like 'bakery' or 'shoes' etc. If it's valid it get's added to the list.

There, that's the magic under the hood. Pretty basic. 😊

Happy 1st of May!

The day putting attention on all of us, and the importance of supporting companies who give a fair pay to their workers.

Buying = supporting. Go local!

You can find them all on our map.

Today is independend bookstore day.

On our map you can search for bookstores, and they will all be shown, regardless of zoomlevel.

This is what Lokjo is all about, showing non-corporate stores. Because -in contrast with big corporations- they actually DO support everybody's economy.
