Scenarios where Around can help

You’re stranded with a flat tire, no spare, and no tools.

Open Around, order a tire from a local shop, and request a mobile mechanic to come to your exact location and replace it.

Flat Tire on the Highway

Move-In Day Panic

You just moved into your new apartment and you’re notified your belongings will be delayed.

Purchase temporary items locally and get it all delivered and assembled by a local handyman on the same day

Find unique items made by your community

Find unique, handcrafted treasures in your neighborhood.

Ditch mass‑produced goods and champion local artisans. Bring one of a kind pieces into your home or buy them as gifts while supporting small businesses.

Scheduling recurring services

Enjoy secure digital payments and automatic booking confirmations.

Schedule recurring haircuts at barber shops or regular lawn mowing services. No more worrying about your favorite stylist or landscaper being booked when you need them!

Last-Minute School Project Crisis

Your child tells you that their school project is missing material and is due tomorrow morning.

Instead of driving around in a panic, use the app to find stores with the items you need, and get the supplies delivered to your door in minutes.

Missed Anniversary Gift

It’s 6PM. Your anniversary dinner is at 7PM. You forgot the gift.

Ask Around for gift ideas from local boutiques or flower shops, and have a beautifully wrapped gift delivered straight to the restaurant.

Catering Canceled Before Your Event

Your caterer mixed up the delivery date before your office lunch event and cannot fulfill your order on time.

Hop on Around to find a nearby restaurant or deli that can cater quickly. Add express delivery, and your event stays on track.
