About Us
Our Story
SoQoni was born in Kitengela from a simple idea: shopping for everyday needs and finding local services should not be a struggle—and selling should not be either.
We noticed that Kenya’s local shops, kiosks, and supermarkets—the very heartbeat of our communities—often struggle to compete with established chains. They lack the digital reach, the marketing muscle, and the online presence to attract the modern customer. Meanwhile, service providers struggle to get found by customers who need them.
SoQoni was created to change that. By bringing local stores and service providers together on one platform, we give them the power to compete while keeping their unique identity. Your store name, your prices, your quality—now with a network behind you. Your service, your contact—now visible to customers in your area.
Our Mission
Bringing All Your Markets to You.
We connect every willing store and service provider within our operational radius—in every market, in every town across Kenya—to the customers who need them. We are starting with everyday groceries and essentials, but our vision is big: every town, every
market, every product, every service.
Our Values
1. Local First
We believe in the power of local businesses. They are the engine of our economy.
2. Speed
We are committed to quick service. Every second matters.
3. Quality
We only partner with stores that deliver the best.
4. Fairness
Fair prices for customers. Fair earnings for sellers and riders.
5. Growth
One town at a time, we build a network that benefits everyone.
Our Journey
We started with a simple truth: a hundred small platforms cannot compete with the big chains. But one platform uniting them all changes everything.
Born in Kitengela, SoQoni brings local shops and service providers together under one
roof. Not to erase their identity—but to amplify it. Your store, your name, your prices, your services—now with the power of a network behind you.
For customers, it means your whole market and all local services in one app. For small
businesses, it means finally competing on equal ground.
We are new, but our purpose is clear. Together, one town at a time, we rise.
