Company mission
Yababa's mission is to deliver a broad assortment of high-quality Turkish, Arabic, and Halal groceries to European cities, at the best prices, with no delivery charge.

Our take
European cities are becoming increasingly multicultural, and with this comes the demand for international groceries. Although international shops are commonplace, consumers will generally have to travel far to shop at them as they are not listed on grocery delivery services.
Yababa provides a same-day grocery delivery business through its fee-free mobile application. The service currently exclusively provides Turkish, Arabic, and Halal products for customers in Berlin, Cologne, and Düsseldorf, but has recently acquired funding to expand into other cultural product ranges and across other European cities.
Grocery delivery apps are becoming increasingly popular in Europe and more international stores are signing up for their services. As a result, Yababa will face a lot of competition. However, the company’s focus on tackling the difficulties that migrants face when purchasing groceries allows it to stand out from other platforms, especially with the fee-free nature of the service.
