Problem
Employees and residents often lack convenient, after-hours access to essential and premium products within their own buildings. Traditional vending machines offer limited selection and poor experience, while building small-format retail on-site requires significant capital investment, space, and operational management that most companies and condominiums cannot justify.
Solution
Corner provides a turnkey autonomous micromarket solution that brings a fully stocked convenience store directly into corporate offices and residential buildings, open 24/7. Corner assumes all setup costs—including technology, refrigeration, shelving, construction work, and decoration—and designs each store's layout to fit the specific space. Staff and residents access the store with a code, company card, or designated Corner card, outside regular hours and without any supervision. The company manages the entire operation, ensuring products are always available and the store runs smoothly, while clients pay only a small monthly fee.
Target Audience
Primary customers are companies and property managers seeking an employee or resident convenience amenity—specifically modern office buildings and luxury residential condominiums in Lisbon and Porto with regular foot traffic.
