supshops is the first e-commerce platform dedicated to increasing the visibility of Minority- and Women-Owned Business Enterprises (MWBE). As the first of numerous projects originating from the supcollective brand, supshops adheres to its mission by providing consumers with a directory of MWBE’s within a chosen location and radius. Each Business Page highlights not only the business, but the business owner as well. Business owners also have the option of listing their products on supshops, making it incredibly easy for consumers to make more informed shopping decisions while supporting small businesses in their area or nationwide.

As defined by NYS Article 15-A of the Executive Law, MWBE stands for Minority- and Women-Owned Business Enterprises. Click here to learn more about these kinds of businesses and the laws surrounding them.
Not a problem, you don't have to be! The supshops platform is open to anyone and everyone looking to support MWBE's/small businesses or individuals looking for greater transparency when it comes to how their money is spent.
Part of increasing visibility means driving money and resources away from mega-corporations and redirecting them back into communities. To assist the platform in this endeavor we are currently developing the supshops Chrome browser extension. The extension will populate notifications when you are browsing products on other shopping sites that are also sold by MWBE/small business owners within the supshops marketplace.

If you'd like to help us with our mission you can send us an email to recommend a business that you would like to see on our platform. From there we will do our best to make them a part of the family!
