Lindsey Fredman Feb 23, 2025

Big box stores have long mastered the art of undercutting small businesses—offering rock-bottom prices to drive out competition, only to hike prices once local shops are gone.

Meet the Founder: How a Late-Night Deep Dive into Dropshipping Led to Main Street Collective

Lindsey Fredman Feb 13, 2025

"Like most working moms, I was just looking for a way to make some extra cash—you know, enough to take my kids to Disney and maybe still afford a churro. That’s when I fell down the rabbit hole of dropshipping. Social media made it sound like a money-printing machine, but the deeper I looked, the more I realized I had been scammed as a consumer myself. That’s when it hit me—what if, instead of mass-produced junk, we built a marketplace that actually supported real, local businesses? And just like that, Main Street Collective was born."
