What began as a small storefront in Skokie, Illinois, was never just about selling products; it was about building something meaningful. We started by running a local retail store, offering a variety of goods to our community and learning firsthand what it takes to keep customers coming back.
But as any small business owner knows, passion alone doesn’t guarantee visibility. We experienced the same uphill battles so many local entrepreneurs face — limited exposure, tight margins, and the constant challenge of getting great products into the right hands. We stocked shelves, managed deliveries, and worked late nights, wondering how to keep growing in a landscape built for bigger players.
That’s when we took a leap and moved our sales online. It wasn’t easy at first, but the transition opened our eyes to the opportunities digital platforms could create for small businesses. We saw the power of online distribution to transform reach, simplify logistics, and connect local brands to customers far beyond their ZIP codes.
From that realization came a new mission: to make online selling more accessible for others like us. We built our company around helping small and growing brands strengthen their digital presence and expand their distribution.
Today, we partner with businesses of every size, guiding them as they bring their products to major online platforms and new markets. Our roots will always be in Skokie — in that first store, those first challenges, and the lessons that shaped who we are.
Because we’ve been there ourselves, we understand what small businesses need most: not just another distributor, but a partner who believes in their growth as much as they do.
