local clientele

Area's regular patrons

Local clientele refers to the customers or clients who come from the nearby area rather than from far away.

Businesses that depend on local clientele draw their customer base from the surrounding neighborhood or community: The restaurant built its reputation on local clientele before tourists discovered it.

The phrase often implies regular, repeat customers who live or work nearby.
