The Jolly Home: Fresh fruit and vegetables delivered to your home

Inspirations and good ideas can also arise from difficult times. Tom known from “The Jolly Mile” in Sotogrande has developed a great new business idea during the lockdown period due to the Covid 19 pandemic.

Because many risk groups were unable to leave the house due to Covid19 to do their daily tasks, Tom has given a lot of thought and wanted to help these people.

“The Jolly Home” was born out of the lockdown period due to the Covid19 pandemic, but the idea and concept goes well beyond that, and the service is set to continue beyond this period.

Tom started “The Jolly Home” to try to help people in the Sotogrande area during the lockdown period, initially just with being able to have quality and fresh fruit and vegetables from a local grocery store delivered to their home. The idea was to make it as convenient and easy as possible, and he achieved this by creating a website where the user can order all types of fruit and vegetables as you would from the grocery store, but from the comfort of their own home, with delivery to their door.

Due to popular demand of their customers, the service and products offered quickly grew to include other products from more local retail partners, such as quality meats from Mr Muu, a local butcher, wines and spirits from Vinopolis, a local wine specialist store, artisan Italian ice cream from Eccolo, based in Sotogrande port, and also a local bakery and pharmacy, and it is keep on growing! 

“The Jolly Home” is now starting to offer take away services, with Petit Bistro, and Foodisiac, and they also offer more personal services, such as personal shopper, supermarket shopper, and even home mechanic.

So from starting off as a way to help people during the lockdown period, the service has grown into an online shopping and services platform, which offers quality products from local retailers. It is a convenient way to support your local businesses, without the hassle of having to do multiple different trips to the local stores.

It is important even in difficult situations to have the ideas and the courage to build something new and not to give up. We think the genesis and the new business idea is great. Well done Tom!
