Supporting Local, Strengthening Communities in Calgary
Local businesses are the heartbeat of every neighborhood. They create jobs, add character, and support the people around them.
But in today's world of fast deliveries and big-box chains, it's easy for small shops to be overlooked.
We're here to change that—by building a digital bridge that connects customers directly with nearby stores, markets, and makers.
At the heart of BuyNearby is a story rooted in serving Calgary's diverse communities. What started as connecting neighbors with authentic products revealed a bigger issue: local mom-and-pop shops struggling to reach customers online.
While big corporations invest millions in tech, independent businesses lack the tools to compete. We saw hardworking entrepreneurs—family grocers, neighborhood markets—needing digital support.
BuyNearby bridges this gap with seamless online ordering, same-day delivery, and tools built for Calgary's small shops.
"Local shops deserve the spotlight they earn every day." – Rioj Jacob Thomas, Founder
