About Caroline & Company
Caroline & Company is locally owned and was founded in 1997 by Charlotte Cryer.

In November, Syncing brands raised their prices on 817 products, producing an average price increase of 7%. If a retailer didn’t make these changes, these price increases would cost their store 7%.

Thankfully, indie stores using Shop Local have the updated price for these 817 products. They don’t lose 7%. The stores receive the updated prices instantly via our Syncing service.

About the Syncing Service
