With recent U.S. tariffs putting pressure on Canadian businesses, Loonie List makes it easy to find and support small, independent, Canadian-owned businesses. Free to browse, free to list, and no account needed to look around. An optional tip helps support the app. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Browse by category — Apparel, Art & Art Supplies, Food & Beverage, Home & Household, Jewelry, Toys & Games, and more • Search by the specific product you're after, not just business names • Find businesses near you, sorted by distance • See which businesses ship to Canada, the USA, or beyond • Save your favourite businesses to come back to later • Recommend businesses you love to help other shoppers discover them FOR BUSINESS OWNERS Listing your business is free. Add your business in a couple of minutes — include your logo, a description, your products, and how customers can reach you. Whether you have a physical storefront, ship online, or both, Loonie List helps shoppers find you. Loonie List sources its directory independently through public business records and, where permitted, established Canadian small-business directories — never by taking listings without the right to use them. Every listing is a real Canadian business. No chains, no big-box stores — just the independent shops, makers, and small businesses that make up Main Street.
