Intro Section:
Welcome to Project 2ML! We believe in the power of local connections. Our mission is to bring residents closer to local businesses and restaurants, making it easy for you to discover, support, and enjoy what’s in your neighborhood. Whether you’re searching for a cozy café, a unique boutique, or essential services, Project 2ML is here to help you find everything just around the corner.
Case study:
Arin Nakirikanti, a freshman from the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University, successfully ran the pilot project “2ML” in three different towns, connecting with 40 restaurants and 15 local businesses. Every business owner he spoke with welcomed his idea and contributed to the pilot. Arin’s pilot project includes towns in Chester County, such as Chester Springs, Exton, Malvern, and Phoenixville.
Discover and support the finest restaurants and local businesses within a 2-mile radius, ensuring your spending stays local and directly contributes to the prosperity and well-being of the community.
What it means for local restaurants:
Local restaurants appreciated the business idea and are eager to work with Arin in the future. The cost of promotion and marketing is minimal, while offering maximum reach to local residents within a 2-mile radius.
What it means for local businesses:
Local business owners were happy to contribute to Arin’s pilot project, which allowed them to promote their businesses at a low cost. This not only helped spread the word about their businesses but also supported the local restaurants.
What it means for local residents:
For local residents, this initiative fosters a sense of belonging. While they explore the world, they don’t want to overlook what’s close by. Supporting local businesses helps contribute to the local economy. The refrigerator magnets remind them of the businesses near their home.
What Project 2ML means to the community:
Project 2ML is founded on the belief that strong communities are built through relationships between local businesses and residents. By connecting people with businesses within a 2-mile radius, we are making it easier to shop local, dine local, and help the community thrive.
