LOCAL FIRST
ALWAYS

Our sponsors

Local businesses backing 440 Eats from day one.

Giveaway partners

Local businesses donating prizes to 440 Eats giveaways — past, present and upcoming.

In every place readers discover us

Web rankings, shareable graphics, Facebook Page posts and the community group.

A home beyond the feed

Featured partners get a dedicated profile here, so readers can return when they are ready to visit.

Built for local action

Giveaways and offers are designed to turn attention into real visits—not empty impressions.

The line stays bright

Partners support the work. They do not buy the rankings.

01

Paid means labeled

Sponsored placements are called out clearly wherever they appear.

02

Rankings stay independent

A partnership never changes a restaurant’s score, position or inclusion.

03

Editor’s Pick is not for sale

That distinction remains entirely editorial—every edition, every time.

04

Local fit comes first

We choose partners whose work is useful to people across the 440 community.
