TapStore™ installs a fully managed micro market in your gym — pre-workout fuel, post-workout recovery, cold beverages and premium snacks, always stocked. Zero cost to your facility.
Book a Free Site Assessment →Every member who leaves your facility after a workout — and stops at a convenience store, a fast food counter, or a drive-through on the way home — is buying fuel you could have sold them. That revenue leaves your building every single session.
TapStore™ captures that demand before it walks out the door. Pre-workout, post-workout, mid-session hydration — available the moment members need it, at zero cost to your gym.
A TapStore™ micro market is an open-format smart store designed for high-traffic fitness environments. Members tap in, grab what they need, and walk out. No staff. No coils. No waiting.
Protein bars, pre-workout drinks, hydration, cold beverages, healthy snacks. Stocked for members who are serious about what they put in their bodies.
Members scan a QR code to request specific products. We read every one and adjust the assortment. Your TapStore reflects your community.
Delivery, installation, restocking, maintenance, service — handled entirely by us. Your staff are never involved. Your members always find it stocked.
No equipment purchase. No installation fee. No monthly charge. You provide the footprint and two standard outlets. We cover the rest.
Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, Google Pay. No cash handling. Members tap and go — even with gloves on.
Members who get what they need at your gym, build a stronger routine around your facility. Convenience creates loyalty.
A juice bar is a full-time operational commitment. TapStore™ delivers a comparable member experience at a fraction of the cost and complexity — with zero staff required.

“Built by a merchant. Not a vending company. The Merchant Group was founded on 30 years of retail experience — Walmart, Staples, Starbucks. We stock your gym’s store the same way we merchandised stores for the world’s best retailers: data-driven, member-first, always fresh.”
We partner with independent gyms, boutique fitness studios, CrossFit boxes, martial arts facilities, recreation centres, and multi-amenity fitness clubs across Toronto and Etobicoke — including Islington Village, Humber Bay, the Queensway, Liberty Village, and the broader GTA West corridor.
If your facility has regular member traffic and accessible floor space, you likely qualify. The fastest way to confirm is a free 30-minute site assessment.
We’re currently selecting a limited number of Toronto and Etobicoke gym locations for our initial rollout. If your facility qualifies, you’ll be among the first — and you’ll pay nothing to get started.
