Who We Are
Pop-up Carolinas was created by two Raleigh-based women business owners. They were united by the goal of helping other local businesses connect with the right audience.
Each with a unique background, they have brought together diverse experiences and lessons learned all the way from the corporate world, e-commerce, brick and mortar stores to the local farmers markets.
Ashley is now on a mission to form a community of NC based businesses and those that are passionate about supporting them and the local economy, by creating opportunities for the two to come together.
