‘Store-hailing’ platform will open Baltimore HQ, with plans to deploy vehicles in 2023

The convenience of ordering food for delivery has become run-of-the-mill for most Marylanders over the past several years. But in just over a year, Baltimoreans may be able to order an entire store to their house. Robomart, a technology company based in Santa Monica, California, that calls itself a “store-hailing” platform, is opening its East Coast headquarters in Baltimore. Along with the establishment of the headquarters, the company hopes to begin offering its store-hailing services to the city’s residents in the second half of 2023. What is store-hailing? The term refers to Robomart’s model of using a mobile application to summon a vehicle containing a miniature store directly to your home.
