Discover extraordinary stores and their latest events. Guiding you on not just where to go, but what’s in-store when you get there. Explore a collection of independent stores. The bookshops, fashion boutiques, design studios, record stores, specialty grocers, plant shops and more that bring vibrancy to our streetscapes and energize our city.
Founder Ivy Ackerman built Friend in Store with a mission of bridging people and places.
And not just any places, but independent stores. The ones that fuel our local communities, bring vibrancy to our streetscapes and connect us together, in-person.
She created an app that brings a curated collection of these extraordinary stores together with their in-store events & experiences, for the first time, for you to easily search and discover.
Why in-store? Well, we believe there’s a magic that happens when you visit a place. An experience, yes, but also something more. An opportunity for a new discovery. A chance for a new encounter. A human connection.
Friend in Store exists to help you connect, not just with vibrant stores & their events, but with each other.
To shop, join, meet, learn, be entertained and exchange.
These stores are down your block and their events & doors are open to welcome you.
Let us be your guide to going there!
