Area and radius search shell
Start with a general area. Expand only when needed.
ShopLocal is designed around category-first, area-first discovery — city, neighborhood, or region first, then radius expansion later.
Search preview — not yet functional
How search will look
No GPS, no exact address, no map pins. General area only.
Category options (Farm & Ranch Local)
Radius model
No dead ends. Expand outward.
If nothing appears at the closest radius, ShopLocal suggests expanding outward — not ending in an empty state. Discovery stays respectful of local distance and seller privacy throughout.
