been loving using Friend in Store to find events happening all around the city that I would have no clue about. one of my favorite features is creating collections for an easy way to save stores that i want to visit. plus, the little “name card” on my profile is the perfect touch and brought the biggest smile to my face!

Love this app because I used to be bummed out I always missed out on cool in-store events & pop-ups. Also fun to find events I can go to by myself & meet my neighbors!
