Bringing Your Neighborhood Closer to You
CloseBuy is Nigeria's premier hyperlocal e-commerce ecosystem, engineered to deliver groceries, fresh meals, and everyday essentials from trusted neighborhood stores directly to your doorstep in minutes.
“To provide a seamless shopping experience for local communities by connecting residents with nearby vendors, promoting local businesses, and ensuring convenient access to daily essentials.”
To become the leading hyperlocal e-commerce ecosystem in Nigeria and across Africa.
We are expanding to serve residential estates and gated communities across Abuja, Lagos, Port Harcourt, and major metropolitan hubs with ultra-fast last-mile logistics, fair merchant economics, and intelligent AI assistance.
Why traditional delivery fails inside residential estates
Conventional food delivery apps dispatch riders from far-off commercial districts miles away. When traffic hits, food gets cold, grocery items melt, and riders get stuck arguing with estate gate security.
Neighborhood-First Sourcing
Instead of dispatching from miles away, CloseBuy partners directly with supermarkets, pharmacies, and kitchens located inside or right next to your estate.
Estate-Authorized Champions
Our dispatch riders are vetted, background-checked, and registered with estate associations. They pass through gates without security delays and know every street name.
Minutes, Not Hours
Because dispatch distances are strictly hyperlocal (typically under 2 kilometers), orders reach your doorstep within 15 to 30 minutes in pristine condition.

CloseBuy is the customer-facing interface of the broader HoodMart ecosystem. This custom-engineered platform orchestrates the complete chain of hyperlocal estate commerce:

Success Atulegwu
Founder & CEO, CloseBuy
Born out of a real problem faced by estate residents
“Living in an estate where conventional delivery apps struggled to reach residents, I experienced firsthand what it means to be stranded when you need groceries or food. CloseBuy was born out of that simple realization: our communities already have great businesses; they just need the bridge to deliver straight to our doorsteps.”
