Over the past year, Local Pegs has made a noticeable impact on Fremantle, becoming a valuable resource for both local businesses and the community. One of the early champions of the platform is Dave, the owner of DaRawNature, who has seen firsthand how Pegs benefits his business. As both a long-time participant and Pegs brand ambassador, Dave appreciates that Pegs is more than just a tech platform—it’s about creating a system where businesses and locals support each other.

“Technology is definitely the future, but what sets Pegs apart is that it encourages everyone to give back,” says Dave. “It’s about helping each other for the greater good.”

This focus on community support has been key to Pegs’ growth, helping businesses attract new customers while offering a boost to locals and students who are feeling the pressure of rising costs.

Since its launch, Pegs has helped businesses like Cosbaby, Al Pastor, Chalkys, T4 Fremantle, Three Little Pigs, The Flaming Galah, Port Beach Brewery, Escapade, Mr Yum-Mhi, Quassimodo’s, and many more connections with new customers. Through promotions like $1 coffee days, bubble tea deals, and other offers, these businesses have been able to stay busy and engage with the community, even during the cost of living crisis.

One of the most recent success stories is Little Creatures, which joined Pegs in December with a popular 50% off pizza deal for locals and students every day from 3pm. Looking ahead, Little Creatures is introducing a 25% off food offer for students between 11am-2pm, starting in February. A smart move, timed to capture the return of Notre Dame University students for the new term.

Notre Dame University and its student societies have been enthusiastic supporters of Pegs, promoting business deals through the Notre Dame Student Association and Student Life socials. Pegs has also collaborated with university societies, like the Notre Dame Nursing Society (NDNS), to create content for businesses and participate in events such as O-Days, to further increase exposure for local businesses and build stronger community ties.

As it continues to grow, Local Pegs is showing how technology can be a force for good—bringing businesses and communities together in meaningful ways. By helping local businesses thrive and supporting locals during challenging times.
