Preserving Local Culture
Supporting local has never been more rewarding
Why We Do What We Do
We started Commonwealth Memberships because it started to feel like local businesses were getting squeezed.
Big chains take the customers and margins, making it difficult for locals to compete. At the same time, you, the customer, struggle to support local with a rising cost of living.
When the community stops going out, the community dies. UberEats, DoorDash, delivery… it makes you stay in. They make it hard to keep the local culture alive.
Our goal is to make it easy for you to go out and support local.
Local businesses add life to our city. They bring new experiences, a personal touch, and real life. They offer a place to meet your neighbours and preserve our living culture.
They make our city a home.
By joining our membership program, supporting local not only becomes affordable, but it also becomes the norm.
It Pays For Itself!
At just $40/month, the membership often pays for itself in one or two visits.
With 50% off, a $100 bill becomes $50, and the savings apply to everyone on your bill.
Bring friends and family, share the experience, and save together.
The more you support local, the more you save.
How Does This Help Businesses?
We get this question all the time! How could a 50% discount possibly help a local business? Let’s break it down!
New customers: Our members are great customers who love to support local and love trying new spots. This is a great way for businesses to be introduced to new people like yourself!
Guaranteed gratuity: Our members pay a 20% gratuity on the pre-discounted bill. We support the people who make these businesses what they are.
Increased traffic: Businesses see increased traffic during their slowest hours. Members are also loyal customers who come more often!
Marketing support: We create a profile for each business so members can learn and fall in love with them. This also comes with additional content!
Exclusive events: We host exclusive events for members only at the participating business locations to help increase sales, visibility, and community connection.
Community strength: These businesses get to become part of a strong community instead of being stuck facing the big chains alone.
Monetary compensation: We support our partners monetarily, allowing them to gain additional revenue on top of sales.
Quality customers: All of our members are encouraged to post on social media and tag the business, as well as leave a review about their experience.

Thoughts From Our Members
“This program has made it way easier for me to go out more often and eat at local restaurants. I can’t wait to see what other businesses join!” - Steph
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“I love my membership, I can make my money back plus more in one night, and then I'm saving the rest of the month too!” - David Duong
“I just want to start off by explaining how wonderful my experience has been with my monthly membership. It makes all the sense just to have it even if you're not going out a lot, because you literally save the whole membership amount for one dinner. Imagine going to a restaurant and wanting more than 2-3 things, but you can’t pay for the whole amount… Well, you're paying 50% of the bill. It’s awesome. I love it!” - Amerikal Koudeda
