The ShopnBag & Shop4Liquor apps, developed by East Rand brothers John and Peter Baladakis, is transforming on-demand grocery delivery.
These online grocery delivery platforms were conceived to offer customers quick shopping in the comfort of their own homes.
Restricted movements, lockdown extensions, and the ever-looming pandemic have changed lives as we know it. However, through these uncertain circumstances, two thought leaders, East Rand brothers and successful entrepreneurs John and Peter Baladakis, decided innovation and creative solutions don’t need to stop.
They are the owners of several Pick n Pay supermarkets and liquor stores in the Kempton Park, Benoni and Edenvale areas. Together, they recognised a demand in the market for a convenient and easy way to shop for your favourite wines and brews. Grocery shopping has also become an ordeal with restricted hours and social distancing norms. Behold, www.shopnbag.co.za and www.shop4liquor.co.za were designed and developed in June 2020 in collaboration with the Baladakis brothers and AJP Advance. This online grocery shopping and on-demand alcohol delivery platforms were conceived to offer customers quick shopping in the comfort of their own homes.
Responding to customer demands, the AJP Advance team augmented the online alcohol shopping and grocery shopping experience with the Shop4Liquor and ShopnBag apps. They both have recently launched and are now available on Google Play and Apple iStore.
Diana Ioannou, divisional director of AJP Advance, shared, “The Shop4Liquor app is our endeavour to offer a convenient and seamless online shopping experience for our customers, just as they would enjoy at any of our retail stores. Pandemic guidelines meant no venturing out for shopping. With our app, ordering your liquor from home is simple and convenient. You get store prices, hassle-free delivery, discounts and offers, and the entire range of brews in just one tap.”
Developed by the expert in-house technology and advertising team, AJP Advance, both apps are easy to use, just tap-tap-tap and your favourite liquors, as well as groceries, are delivered at home.
