In The Beginning...

Shopzilla started as a business school thesis. In the mid-'90s, Wharton student Farhad Mohit saw the need for an online marketplace to help shoppers easily find the products they are searching at the best prices available.

Unfortunately, the paper got a "D", but Mohit's idea grew from campus dream into e-commerce reality with the launch of BizRate.com in 1996. To this day, BizRate leads the industry with its customer rating system and millions of merchant and product customer reviews.

Fan The Flame

In 2004, the company evolved into Shopzilla, Inc. and launched Shopzilla.com, the leading price-comparison shopping search engine. With sites in the United Kingdom, France and Germany, shoppers around the world are empowered with the ability to search among millions of products and find the right price from trusted merchants.

It's In The Cart

The E.W. Scripps Company purchased Shopzilla in 2005. The renowned media giant has integrated Shopzilla.com and BizRate.com into its successful network of TV stations, newspapers, and national networks, including HGTV, Food Network and DIY Network, among others.
