The Independent Merchant Project is a free resource to find independently owned, non-chain resources in your community for dining, groceries and hobbies.
Built and maintained by Matt Shepherd with code by Joe Crawford, it's still in its early phases, with kinks being worked out. If you've found us, that's weird, because this is kind of a pre-live testing ground at this point!
Comments, suggestions, and more are welcome at hello@theIMP.ca. If you'd like to start an IMP of your own in your community, we'll set you up for free (really!); just email us.
More details on the project philosophy and parameters are on our About page. Really, if you're in the Kingston area, just start digging in using the tabs up top (or the hamburger menu, if you're on mobile). Have fun! Let us know what you think!
