About the People Building the Shop Local Platform

About Bridge
Shop Local members at the Rosse showroom in Atlanta. Jason Solarek, Bridge CEO and Founder, shown on the far right.
Early Supporters of Bridge
Jason Solarek (Bridge Shop Local), Andrew Pickard Morgan (Pickard China), Marisa LeDonne (Rosenthal) and Tim DeVine (DeVine Corp.) We’d like to give a a special thanks to Tim DeVine, Andrew Morgan, and Marisa LeDonne for being early supporters of indie stores and our Shop Local platform.

In 2007, web designer Jason Solarek was thinking about his clients' businesses over a beer in New York City. He knew that Karen, who owned a retail shop on Long Island, was adding the same items to her website as Sallie, who owned a store in Missouri.

Upon further consideration, he realized that a handful of his clients were adding the same items to their websites, week after week, thereby duplicating each others' work. Sensing an opportunity to help his clients save time and money, Solarek asked the retailers to team up with their popular brands and share the product data. Solarek asked the brands to input and maintain the data - thereby saving the retailers the hassle. Using this platform, the data would then 'flow downstream' to the retailers' websites.

From that day, Bridge Shop Local's platform has grown from helping two stores to helping 1,236+ retailers.
