Our story
Local, healthy, delivered
Mercado was born from a simple idea: local markets have the freshest produce, but busy people rarely have time to visit.
We built a bridge between the vibrant stalls of Kariakoo, Kisutu, and beyond — and the doorsteps of families across Dar es Salaam.
Every vendor on our platform is a neighbour. Every order you place keeps a small business thriving. We believe fresh, affordable groceries should be accessible to everyone — without the queue.
Founded in 2023, Mercado has partnered with over 40 markets and 200+ vendors, delivering thousands of orders weekly across the city.
