Mumbai : LoveLocal, India’s fastest-growing digital retail platform, has partnered with Mumbai’s iconic Society Stores to take the heritage local retail chain online for the very first time. Through LoveLocal’s platform, the 60-year-old retail store now has its own digital storefront where customers can seamlessly browse, discover, and order from their entire catalogue of products. Out of its six outlets across Mumbai, LoveLocal is now live at three locations: Lokhandwala, Oshiwara, and Chembur. More outlets will be added soon.

For over six decades, Society Stores has been a household name for generations of Mumbaikars, offering everything from daily essentials to premium products with a reputation built on quality and trust. With this association, LoveLocal can now serve internet-first consumers while carrying forward the trust and credibility that Society Stores has built over decades.

This collaboration also marks a turning point for local retail. By embracing digital adoption, Society Stores demonstrates that modernization doesn’t mean giving up heritage; it means carrying it forward into the future. Customers today want the convenience of online ordering but don’t want to compromise on freshness, fair pricing, or trust. With LoveLocal, Society Stores can now serve both offline and online shoppers with the same credibility that generations have come to rely on.

On this development, Akanksha Hazari, Founder & CEO of LoveLocal, said, “At LoveLocal, our mission is to empower local retailers by giving them the right digital tools to thrive in a rapidly changing market. Partnering with Society Stores is a natural extension of that vision. This is not just about taking a store online, it’s about strengthening decades of trust and heritage while making shopping effortless for today’s consumers. Society Stores is an institution in itself. By bringing such a legacy store onto LoveLocal, we are sending a powerful message that the future of retail is local.”

Laxmichand Gada, Owner, Society Stores said, “We are well aware of how online has become the new norm. Our customers, who have always been at the heart of everything we do, now seek convenience along with trust. For over six decades, they have relied on us for quality and consistency, and going digital with LoveLocal allows us to carry that promise into a new era while making Society Stores more accessible than ever. LoveLocal is the right partner for us because it amplifies what makes local stores special without replacing them, giving us the tools to modernize while preserving the trust and authenticity.”

For LoveLocal, this partnership is both symbolic and strategic. Symbolic, because it shows how heritage institutions can evolve seamlessly on the platform. Strategic, because it inspires thousands of other retailers across India who look up to pioneers like Society Stores. With this collaboration, LoveLocal aims to build a nationwide movement where every local shop, whether it’s a decades-old supermarket or a neighborhood fruits and vegetable vendor, can serve customers both offline and online with equal ease.
