ShelfLove- Shop Shelves. Save Stores.
ShelfLove was created in the wake of the pandemic to help small shops stay afloat.
Big box stores are running low on things like detergent, soaps, and groceries and the shipping times are getting longer and longer. Meanwhile, small shops across the country are hurting; many of which have these same items sitting on their shelves. ShelfLove connects you with listings from small shop owners; giving you more ways to find what you need and giving vital sales to struggling store owners.
Every product is listed by a store owner and is sitting on a shelf in a closed up shop. ShelfLove lets you browse these listings quickly & easily to find what you’re looking for from small shops across the country. When you purchase, the item is shipped from the store owner within 7 days.
