Default Using wildcards in formulas

provided (L) determines the "locality" only you might use the following
formula:

=IF(FIND("(L)",A1),"Local")

I want to create a formula that states: if cell in columnA ends in (L)
then
show result in ColumnB as Local.

sample data:
ColumnA
1.Wow Widget Store (L)
2.Widgets N More
3.Major Widget Store (L)
4.Allstar Widgets

I tried using the following formula:
if(A1="*(L)","Local","no)
Excel will not accept that. Any suggestions?
