Everything around you
After an intensive period of work, development and testing, the Mahallak team is beginning its final preparations for the platform’s official launch on October 15, 2026. This date marks an important milestone following a series of improvements designed to bring local stores and home businesses together and help them strengthen their digital presence and reach a wider audience.
A new phase begins on October 15, 2026
Over the past months, the Mahallak team has focused on building a complete experience for merchants and users across the app and website. As launch approaches, the project has entered its final preparation phase: reviewing platform performance, improving usability, testing services and checking that systems are ready.
Our goal is not simply to launch another platform. We want to build a digital environment that helps local stores and businesses grow, expand and use digital tools more easily and professionally.
Dedicated store pages on the Mahallak website
One of our recent milestones is the addition of public store pages to the Mahallak website. Each store can have a dedicated page with its information, products, photos and location, so visitors can learn about it on the web without needing to use the app.
This step also gives stores another opportunity to be discovered through search engines such as Google and Bing, helping business owners build a stronger digital presence.
Reach customers on phones and computers
Mahallak is designed to be more than a mobile app. Alongside our smartphone apps, people can browse stores and products directly on the Mahallak website from a computer, phone or tablet.
This makes it easier for more people to discover local stores and products in a simple, convenient way.
Useful tools for store owners
The Mahallak team has also developed tools to make business management easier for store owners. The platform helps merchants manage their store, products and information, control store visibility and follow their activity through merchant-specific systems.
Mahallak solutions are available across several platforms, including smartphones and computers, giving store owners more flexibility in managing their work.
Helping stores appear in search
A key goal for this next phase is to help stores on Mahallak build a lasting digital presence. A dedicated web page allows search engines to discover and index its content, which may help customers find stores and products by searching for their names or type of business.
We will continue improving search engine optimization (SEO) across the platform to increase the opportunities for store pages and their content to be discovered.
Counting down to the Mahallak launch
With much of the development work complete, the Mahallak team is now preparing for the official launch on October 15, 2026.
Until then, we will continue testing the platform, improving performance, reviewing the user experience and making final refinements for a stable, polished launch.
Our vision for what comes next
Our vision is for Mahallak to become a digital connection point between local stores, home businesses and customers. We want every store, whatever its size, to have a clear online presence and the opportunity to reach new customers through apps, the web and search.
The October 15 launch is not the end of development. It is the beginning of a new phase in which we will continue adding features and improving the platform around the needs of merchants and users.
