We are
Lovelynd
The online-local e-commerce platform for small business retailers in North Carolina.
Only small businesses.
Only North Carolina.
Our story
North Carolinians mean it when they say Shop Local. And that’s why we created Lovelynd for the people that care about local, that buy and sell and trade local.
Together we are one really big marketplace – From the beach to the Mountains… From the Speedway to the Pines… From the Acorn in Raleigh to the waterfalls of Transylvania County.
We realized there were a couple of things holding us back – holding back the folks supporting local economies. Things like time, money and technical skills. So we set out to find a solution that would serve the locals of NC.
Online-local is how we describe Lovelynd
Shopping in the community is supporting the community. Together, we can strengthen the areas we live, play, and work.
A vision...
just for you
To bring all North Carolina shoppers and retailers together in one place.
We believe this will enable the local shoppers to keep their goods as local as possible and growth for the shops themselves.
Local shopping made more accessible
Given that North Carolinians care so much about shopping local, we thought it made sense that all independent retailers, artists and craftspeople should have an ecommerce store.
Regardless of your store’s income, resources or technological skill, we want to help you grow in North Carolina with North Carolina shoppers.
Our principles, values and philosophy
We are committed to building an online-local environment where small businesses and their local customers can achieve their goals.
Equitability
We help onboard all of our retailers regardless of their income, location or skill level.
Decency
Along with accessibility and equitability, we aim to be reasonable.
Authenticity
This isn’t for show, it’s just who we are. We won’t make promises to be something we are not.
Created by locals for locals
We might not be from here, but like a fish to water we’ve taken to this beautiful state. We love the values, the entrepreneurial spirit and determination to do better that we’ve found here in North Carolina.
So we hope that you’ll find the space to create and grow here on Lovelynd. 🤝
