There's a better way to run daily convenience in your building.

Property managers across Toronto are dealing with the same three problems. TapStore™ solves all of them.

Delivery drivers flooding condo building lobby Toronto

Delivery apps are flooding your lobby.

The average 400-unit condo receives 30+ delivery driver visits per day — residents ordering out because there's nothing in-building to buy. TapStore™ turns that unmet demand into an amenity your building owns.

Elevator congestion from delivery traffic in Toronto condo building

Parking and elevator congestion.

Every delivery driver who enters your building adds unplanned traffic to your elevators, lobbies, and visitor parking. At peak times, residents wait longer for elevators and share their space with a constant flow of unvetted individuals.

The amenity gap.

Residents leave the building for basics they should be able to get downstairs. Employees step out mid-afternoon and don't come back. Every trip out the door is a friction point — and a retention risk you don't need.

What TapStore™ does.

A tech-forward micro market — installed in your lobby or amenity room, stocked with what residents actually want, managed entirely by us.

Residents ask for more. You deliver more — without spending a cent.

Today's renters and condo owners weigh building amenities when they choose where to live — and when they decide to renew. TapStore™ gives you a tangible, visible upgrade that residents talk about, post about, and remember when their lease comes up.

Zero investment. Zero overhead. Zero calls to your team.

TapStore™ operates at zero cost to your property. No installation fees. No stocking labour. No maintenance burden on building staff. We handle everything — from setup to restocking to service. If something needs attention, our team responds within two business days. Your front desk will never receive a call about it.

This isn't a vending machine. Your residents will know the difference.

Legacy vending is aging infrastructure — frequently out of order, stocked with products nobody asked for, and an eyesore in any lobby worth its rents. TapStore™ is a different category: a curated managed micro market with contactless tap-to-pay, real-time inventory management, and a premium cabinet profile that belongs in a Class-A building.

30 seconds.
That's all it takes.

Watch a resident tap in, grab what they need, and walk away. No staff. No friction. No lineup. This is what your building's amenity looks like when it actually works.

A smart store for your building.
Built in. Tapped in.

Built by a retailer.
Operated like one.

TapStore™ is a product of The Merchant Group Inc., built on 30 years of retail experience — Walmart, Staples, Starbucks — and operated from the floor up, not from a vending warehouse. Every product decision is made with the resident experience in mind. Every service standard is set to protect the building relationship. We don't sell equipment. We run a retail store inside your building.

Data-driven restocking

Real-time sales data tells us what's selling — we adjust before shelves go empty. Your residents never find a gap where their favourite item should be.

Stocked for your community

Residents scan a QR code on the smart store to request products. Your TapStore™ reflects what your building actually wants — not what a distributor had available.

Assortment that evolves

We rotate seasonal products and respond to resident feedback. The market stays fresh, relevant, and used — not stale and ignored.

Common questions from
property managers.

How much space does an installation require?

A standard TapStore™ installation uses approximately 5 feet of lobby wall space. We design the placement to integrate with your existing lobby layout and aesthetic. If you're unsure whether your space qualifies, that's exactly what the site visit is for.

Who handles maintenance and service calls?

We do. Residents who have a question or concern contact our team directly. Building staff are never in the loop unless you want them to be. We commit to a two-business-day response on any service issue, and our smart stores are monitored remotely so we often know about a problem before your residents do.

What if it doesn't work out?

We remove it. No fees, no penalties, no awkward conversation. We're confident enough in the product to operate without locking you into anything. If TapStore™ isn't working for your building, we'd rather know early and find a property where it fits.

We're placing new Etobicoke & Toronto locations now.

TapStore™ is currently expanding across Etobicoke and Toronto. We're partnering with a select number of buildings to launch — working closely with each property to ensure the installation, assortment, and experience is exactly right. If your building qualifies, you'll be among the first to offer this to your residents. And you'll pay nothing to do it.
