Be someone's first local place

Every week, people move to Fort Worth with no favorite coffee shop, no mechanic and no idea where the good bars are. New Locals helps them pick. If you run an independent business, we'd like to meet you.

Ways to work together

  • Get listed (free)

    The guide is editorial. We add places on merit, and no one pays to be in it or to be ranked. Suggest your business and we'll take a look.

  • Founding partner

    For the first local businesses that back the project: a clearly labeled partner feature in the guide and the letter, plus first say on meetup hosting.

  • Sponsor the letter

    One sponsor per issue, written in our voice, labeled as a sponsor, and sent to people who just moved here.

  • Host a New Locals Night

    We bring a room of newcomers to your bar, shop, studio or venue for an evening.

  • Offer a newcomer perk

    A welcome offer for people in their first year. We're building a newcomer passport around these.

Sponsored content is always labeled. Partners never change what the guide says about anyone else.
