Mercato is more than an online grocery service—it’s a robust platform that helps local, independent grocers sell directly to their community. Built on the mission to preserve neighborhood stores while delivering unmatched convenience, Mercato is designed to elevate your presence in the digital marketplace.
Why Mercato Stands Out
1. Local, Handpicked Quality: Every store on Mercato is locally owned and carefully vetted, ensuring top‑rated merchants and exceptional customer satisfaction.
2. Fresher Products, Thoughtfully Sourced: Mercato promises freshness that outperforms traditional supermarkets by up to 85%. Every order is handpicked by the merchants themselves, preserving quality straight from the source.
3. Wide Variety for Diverse Tastes: From heirloom produce and hand‑cut meats to artisanal cheeses, specialty beverages, international delicacies, pantry staples, and seasonal favorites—Mercato has it all under one digital roof.
4. Effortless Shopping Experience: Customers can shop from multiple merchants in a single order, choose delivery or in-store pickup, and schedule orders for the most convenient time.
5. Built on Community: Founded by Bobby Brannigan to help his father’s Brooklyn grocery thrive online, Mercato continues to support culturally diverse, community-rooted grocers nationwide.
