Egyptian grocery deliveries startup Appetito has merged with Saudi-based counterpart Jumlaty to create NOMU, which aims to become MENA’s leading food-tech supply chain platform. NOMU is currently present in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Tunisia, and Morocco and claims to have the capacity to cover the existing infrastructure of 25 million people and 100,000 F&B stores.

Appetito is a grocery delivery platform that sources products from manufacturers, stores them in its warehouses, and ships them to customers via mini fulfillment centers.
