“Buying domestic, regional and local goods increases employment and economic health of the country as a whole," says Brant Williams, a co-founder of Apple Pie. "We’re excited to be a vehicle for U.S. manufacturers to sell their wares, and a destination for shoppers to find those products."
Apple Pie asserts that many U.S. manufacturers have been relegated to small, niche selling outlets but that it will provide them a "mass market channel with a captive audience.”
The company offers free shipping for orders of $50 or more.
