Who we are

This is a platform dedicated to connecting local stores and service providers with nearby buyers, making local shopping and service hiring as seamless as using food delivery apps. By offering a diverse selection of products, easy connections with gig workers, and efficient last-mile delivery, Around empowers local businesses to expand their reach and thrive in today’s digital-first world.

This idea was born from the frustration of constantly going from store to store in search of items needed for projects, wasting time and energy during the process. It grew into a mission to address a clear gap in the market not catering to local product and service-based businesses and those not aware of what can be found locally.

During the development of this platform, it became clear that it is more than just a marketplace; it’s a tool to strengthen communities, keep spending local, and make supporting neighborhood businesses both simple and rewarding all while getting what you need in minutes.
