Our Story
Founded by St. Petersburg residents Stacey and Caylee Ward, St. Pete Shopping Company was created from a shared passion for helping others and a vision of a service to help make people’s lives easier.
Caylee was the first personal shopper in the family, signing up with the national delivery apps in January 2020 (pre-pandemic). Stacey started in March 2020.
By early 2021, the mother-daughter shopping duo discovered a genuine need for a more personalized experience than the other grocery delivery apps could offer. St. Pete Shopping Company was founded in 2022 with a mission to make life easier for our clients.

Family Business is in Our DNA
St. Pete Shopping Company is the 1st time Stacey and Caylee are working side by side on their own mother-daughter business, but both grew up surrounded by generations of family-run business owners. They both saw the impact of working with family and learned the meaning of hard work at a young age.
Stacey grew up watching her mom, Marcia, work at her grandpa’s printing business. Stacey spent her high school and college weekends working at Marcia’s businesses. Stacey and Marcia started an antiques business when Caylee was a toddler, and by preschool, she had attended antique shows, auctions, and trade shows with Mom and Grandma.
In elementary school, Caylee spent her free time helping to sort, categorize, and scan inventory with Marcia. She also worked in the office on her laptop alongside Stacey and taught herself computer software like Excel, PowerPoint, and Access. On “Take Your Child to Work Day,” throughout elementary and middle school, Caylee would help Stacey with PowerPoint presentations to her fellow students about the family business. When Stacey later started a marketing business, Caylee spent her free time in middle and high school attending business networking events, client meetings, and fundraisers with her mom.
