Shopping Local Blog

We Love Supporting Local Businesses

Our mission is simple: to share the incredible stores and family-run businesses we discover during our daily shopping adventures.

At St. Pete Shopping Company, we believe that shopping local is more than just a trend—it’s a way to connect with our community, support hardworking entrepreneurs, and keep the unique spirit of St. Petersburg alive.

Our blog is here to inspire and guide you in discovering

how to truly embrace shopping local—not just by using the hashtag #ShopLocal, but by making it a meaningful part of your lifestyle.
