Who we are

At WeBuyDetroit, we believe in the power of community – or at least, that’s what we tell ourselves when we’re up at 2 a.m. brainstorming ways to make local shopping sound exciting. Our mission is simple: to shine a spotlight on the local brands, artisans, and entrepreneurs who make Detroit unique. From handcrafted goods to innovative services (read: stuff you didn’t know you needed but now can’t live without), we’re passionate about connecting you with the best our city has to offer. By supporting these businesses, we’re not just investing in products – we’re investing in the people and stories that define Detroit’s vibrant culture (and occasionally questionable fashion choices).

We built this platform to make it easy for you to discover, compare, and support local brands. Whether you’re a lifelong Detroiter or just passing through (probably on your way to Canada), we want you to feel the pride and passion behind every product – or at least, the pride of knowing you didn’t buy it from Amazon. Together, we can strengthen our community, create opportunities, and celebrate the creativity that makes Detroit one of a kind. Thank you for joining us on this journey to uplift and empower the heart of the Motor City – because someone’s gotta do it, and it might as well be us.
