Outlet Shop- Why We're Here

Hi friends! 

I'm a firm believer that stories connect us as people. Stories can also emotionally connect us to a product. Perhaps your dad used a specific color or kind of paper when he wrapped your childhood birthday gifts. Or maybe your grandma always had a cheeky saying she would use. It’s like the back of a restaurant menu, where sometimes the life story or defining moment that inspired someone to open a restaurant, i.e., “the story of Mama’s secret family recipe” connects you, emotionally- to the food, the staff, or the physical space.

Outlet Shop was created to bring together fun and beautiful goods from other small businesses, as well as the stories behind those businesses. [How'd they get started? Who inspires them?]

There's so much "stuff" out there trying to divide us, as humans. It's become difficult to see and honor our commonalities- those wonderful things that bring us together, and remind us of who we are. Stories educate us and contextualize the 'why' behind a person. They can also do that for a product or a brand. It's for that reason, we created an outlet, for products, people, and stories to come together. Welcome to Outlet Shop. We hope you love it.

Please keep sharing your stories,

Corey

Co-Founder, O.S.
