About us
Who We Are
Helping people feel like a local wherever they go.
Shopping Sisters is a travel and shopping guide with a local directory and a curated store that includes art, wearables and fun finds. It started as an international blog and network to connect people to shopping while traveling across the world. After Covid, we refocused and shifted into a local shopping experience which includes our hometown of Ann Arbor, Michigan and the surrounding cities in Washtenaw County.
We are looking to expand to other similar cities across Michigan and the country as our business expands. If you would like us to create a Shopping Sisters® directory in your area, we are always looking for city ambassadors. Contact Us

How we startedHistory.
We started with a passion for finding the best shopping spots.
Shopping Sisters® was created by Berry Berzanskis in 2003 after a trip to Italy with her friend Janine. During a visit to Volterra they wandered into shop after shop and realized how much shopping wasn’t just a passion but a gift to share with others. At that moment, Berry decided to create Shopping Sisters® and bring that passion and excitement of shopping in new places to others.
