Summary

Pop To The Shop is a free online platform that connects people in need of essential food or medicine with local volunteers who deliver these items. Founded by George Bevis, the platform was created in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and has since gained traction with over 100 volunteers signing up to deliver groceries and non-prescription medicine. The app uses Bubble's no-code tools to allow users to request deliveries, set prices, and schedule pickups while adhering to social distancing guidelines. George Bevis, the founder, is a serial entrepreneur who built his previous successful venture Tide and has used no-code tools like Bubble in the past, choosing it for Pop To The Shop due to its powerful point-and-click web editor and cloud hosting platform. The app has received positive user reviews and was recently featured in the Daily Mail's Coronacast Daily podcast series.
