Tinder for the city center

May 13, 2026 • If even the FAZ thinks so, retail is currently undergoing massive changes.
Customers today discover products spontaneously on their smartphones – no longer in printed brochures.

“We need a Tinder for downtown shopping.” This exact statement has already been publicly discussed in connection with the future of retail.

More and more people scroll, swipe and discover offers digitally. That is exactly where local shops need to become visible – directly in the everyday smartphone flow of their customers.

We turned this idea into reality – shops.mariondo.com brings local deals, promotions and products directly to the smartphones of people nearby. Customers can spontaneously discover interesting offers around them and navigate directly to the store.

This creates a modern digital downtown: local, spontaneous, visible and always up to date.
