SquareSpot is a Manhattan-based marketplace for active and discerning families. It's where parents find exceptional offers on practical and useful things like organic dry cleaners, farm fresh delivery and great activities in local neighborhoods, all hand-selected by savvy urban parents. We're like that great neighborhood marketplace that seems to have everything you want and need, all under one roof. Our roof just happens to be online. SquareSpot launched its Loyalty Program in New York City September 2011, which allows parents and new vendors to try SquareSpot while we roll out our online marketplace in March 2012.
