Company mission

Mahalo is a small business for small businesses. This means building a better route to market for its small-batch suppliers and helping independent retailers source extraordinary products to delight their customers, keeping the High Streets alive.

Our take

Founded in August 2020 by Bread & Jam Festival co-founder Tara Mei, Mahalo is a small business marketplace that helps farm shops and delis source the best wholesale deals and products.

With a focus on small businesses, Mei's background as a food festival founder certainly came in useful when founding the online marketplace. Each company represented by Mahalo has its own personal information page, bringing Mahalo’s clients closer to the brands they purchase from the website.

It’s this intimacy and personable marketing that helps Mahalo turn heads. As more people look to source their products locally to cut down emissions, Mahalo acts as an environmentally conscious foodie matchmaker that has real potential. Let’s just hope that as the company grows, it can retain its charming personality.
