For over a year, we've been working with the pros at Local Express for our client Gaiss' Market. When we say this platform has been GOLD for our clients...we mean it. Perfect for markets, full grocery stores, butcher shops, bakeries, delis, and even liquor stores. Read on to see why we love Local Express!

Groceries For All - EBT/SNAP Integration

Multi Location Capability
One, two, ten or twenty stores are no problem for the grocery module. Customers can shop their favorite location, or shop first then find a location with all items.

Increase Sales with Ease
Local Express clients have sales increases month after month, but with Ambition those increases are even higher! Our marketing combined with this amazing platform are the keys to success.
Hiring Ambition is the best money I have ever spent at my store. At first I was nervous, being a small store and making such an investment. Ambition has increased my sales in store and online, my team has a lot of fun working on projects with Ambition, and I can rest knowing if there is ever a problem Ambition is a phone call away. I highly recommend this company. - Anthony Martino, Gaiss' Market
We'll use a client of ours as a case study. Gaiss' Market is a local butcher shop and market in South New Jersey. Small, but mighty. The store has an off season and a peak season (summer). The customers range in ages, but the average age is around 55 years old. Most of the customers are year round shoppers.
The store has a 54% increase in online sales YTD 2024 vs 2025, as of mid September. The start up cost was covered in the first month of sales, May 2024. By the end of the second month, the monthly fees for 2024 were covered. For 2024, not only did Local Express pay for itself, there was a 12% increase in sales for the 8 months of use.
Now in 2025, the marketing surrounding online shopping has grown and sales have increased even further. For Independence Day, the store ran themed deals for the first time, putting a heavy marketing focus on ordering online. This brought in new customers, expanded reach, and increased sales 39% vs the same time frame in 2024. You can read more about that here.
The potential with Local Express AND Ambition is HUGE for your company, and we would love to get you started on your road to success.
