Mission

We quit our jobs in the tech industry and started Creek because we believe that it should be easier to buy from local stores than from anywhere else. Creek helps small businesses amplify each others’ reach and makes shopping local more convenient for customers. 

We believe that the easier is to shop local, the more consumers will buy more from local stores. And when they do, more money will stay in the DC community.
