About Us

We're changing how
SA shops & eats.

Born from a passion to support local businesses and give South Africans a smarter way to shop, The inStore is more than an app — it's a movement.

From a bold idea to a national platform

Founded under Tvb Network (Pty) Ltd, The inStore was created to solve a simple problem: South Africans deserved a local, trustworthy platform that puts their community first. We started small and we're growing fast — but our mission has never changed.

  • Empower local vendors, spaza shops, and restaurants with digital reach
  • Give customers a reliable, safe, and affordable delivery experience
  • Build technology that works for South African realities — data-light, fast, and practical
  • Create jobs and economic opportunity through our driver network
