About Us
Our Story
Every American-made product tells a story. Whether it's coming from a local workshop or a bustling factory floor, each item on BuyUSAFirst.com represents American ingenuity, quality, and pride. Growing up in small-town America, and later living in a community of just 3,600 people, I saw the incredible impact that successful American businesses - large and small - have on their communities.
That vision led me to found BuyUSAFirst.com in May 2020. We knew that building the right platform - one that truly serves American manufacturers and businesses - would take time. For over three years, we've carefully developed our marketplace, refining every detail to ensure it perfectly serves both our vendors and customers. Now, as we launch in December 2024 from our home base in Oklahoma City, we're ready to showcase the very best of American-made products.
Our mission is simple: make it easier for customers to find and support American-made products, while giving businesses an affordable way to reach those customers. We believe in the power of American manufacturing, the importance of local economies, and the value of keeping jobs in our communities.
When you shop at BuyUSAFirst.com, you're not just making a purchase - you're supporting American jobs, investing in our communities, and helping businesses grow stronger. Every sale helps a neighbor succeed, keeps a factory running, or allows a business to expand.
Join us in strengthening American manufacturing and business. Together, we're building a marketplace that ensures "Made in USA" continues to stand for quality, innovation, and pride.
