Its partners include U.S. retailers in the circular space, namely the brands of Ace Hardware, Kohls, Office Depot, Michael's, TrueValue, Target, Lowe's, Staples, Jo-Ann, CVS Pharmacy and Walgreens.

Ownership[edit]
The company was founded as SalesHound.com, LLC in March 1999, and was renamed CrossMedia Services, Inc. on July 30, 2001.[citation needed] In 2004, TKG Holdings, in a joint venture equally owned by Gannett Company, Knight Ridder (now owned by The McClatchy Company) and Tribune Company, acquired CrossMedia Services for US$75 million. The venture investors in Crossmedia Services were Trident Capital, Gabriel Venture Partners and River Cites Capital.[1] In 2006, adjustments were made to ownership:[2] Gannett Company (42.5%), Tribune Company (42.5%), The McClatchy Company (15%). On July 8, 2008 Gannett acquired both Tribune's 42.5 percent share for $22.3 million and McClatchy's 15 percent share for $7.9 million, making ShopLocal 100 percent owned by Gannett.[3] Shoplocal is now part of TEGNA Digital, and has merged with PointRoll to create Cofactor Digital. In December 2016, Liquidus, a Chicago-based digital media/ad tech agency purchased CoFactor.
