Bakala started with a simple observation on a Manama side street: the cold store on the corner throws away good bread every single night, and the family two doors down is counting fils at the till.
Bahrain runs on bakalas and cold stores. They are open late, they are two minutes away, and they already know their customers by name. We are not building a new supply chain — we are making the one on your street visible.
Shop owners pay nothing to put a bag up. Shoppers pay nothing to hold one. Money changes hands once, in person, at the counter — the way it already does.
We are starting with cold stores and bakalas in Bahrain. From there: bakeries, restaurants, and eventually any shop with stock it would rather sell than bin.
