Social shopping platform encourages community involvement

Ekoplaza Zwolle introduces daily shopping service

Organic supermarket Ekoplaza introduces same-day home delivery with the help of SuperBuddy, a company in Zwolle, the Netherlands. In five postal code areas in Zwolle it is now possible to order your shopping and have it delivered to your home within two hours.



In cooperation with SuperBuddy, the organic supermarket offers the possibility of ordering your shopping online, and having it delivered to your home on the same day, if necessary within two hours. The shopping is delivered within a period of 30 minutes. The branch in Zwolle is connected to the SuperBuddy system, a social shopping platform that helps people with a distance to the labour market to work again.

Ordering your shopping is done on the SuperBuddy website. The shopping is then delivered by buddies from your own neighbourhood, who can earn a little extra this way, and who can feel socially involved. The buddies have been trained especially to choose the freshest products. They carefully look at the best-before-dates and which fruits they pick. You are therefore always ensured that your shopping is being done the same way as you would do it yourself. If a product is unavailable, the buddy will choose an alternative in consultation. You are therefore never surprised by missing products.

Buddy Teun is enthusiastic about his job: “It is fun to earn a little extra by helping people who do not have time, or are unfortunately not capable of doing their own shopping. And I also get some extra exercise. It is just a lot of fun to do, and I can easily combine it with my school hours.”
