In this paper we primarily introduce the local version of star-Menger property, namely locally star-Menger property (a space with this property is called locally star-Menger) and present some important topological observations. Certain interactions between the new notion and star-Menger property are also observed. Some observations on effectively locally star-Menger Pixley-Roy hyperspaces (introduced here) are obtained. Preservation like properties under several topological operations are also interpreted carefully. Besides, several results on decomposition and remainder of locally star-Menger spaces are also presented.
