Shop at your own pace
Grocery trips with help at the part that is actually hard
Getting there is easy. Getting eight bags up the front steps is not.
Grocery shopping is the errand people give up first, and losing it changes what ends up in the fridge. This service exists to keep it.
02Why this ride matters
Food independence is worth protecting
When shopping becomes too hard, diets narrow to whatever a neighbour brings or whatever keeps in a cupboard. It is a quiet decline that starts with a car park and a heavy trolley.
Jomia's grocery service is deliberately unhurried. The driver parks close, waits while you shop at whatever pace you set, helps load the vehicle and carries the bags into the kitchen at the other end.
Riders keep control of the shopping itself. Choosing your own produce, your own brands and your own portions is most of the point.
03Who it is for
Who uses grocery transportation
Seniors who no longer drive
Riders who can still shop but cannot get themselves and their bags home.
Riders with limited stamina
People who manage a shop fine but not a long walk from a distant parking space.
Wheelchair users
Riders who need level boarding and space for both a chair and the shopping.
Caregivers
Families arranging a weekly shop as part of a wider support plan.
