Hi, I'm Jordan.
Lifelong Brooklynite, parent of two, and tired of overpaying for toilet paper.
After two kids and countless exhausting trips to a big box store, I realized we needed a different approach.
You know the drill—being a parent means juggling bills while trying to avoid roomfuls of unused products. And our urban living arrangements made it impossible to stockpile. The prices at the warehouse were great, but who needs 96 rolls of toilet paper?
With my background in distribution, I knew something was off. We had the buying power as a community, yet we were still at the mercy of inflated prices in the city.
That's why I started Cantaloupe. Affordable everyday goods delivered in manageable quantities—right to your door. No more paying extra for all that excess. No more choosing between the overpriced corner store and the overwhelming warehouse run.
It's been working. Families are simplifying their shopping, saving money, and—most importantly—freeing up time for the stuff that actually matters.
“We had the buying power as a community, yet we were still at the mercy of inflated prices.”
How it works for everyone
The community model that keeps prices low
Your building orders together
When neighbors subscribe, we can deliver more efficiently. You don't have to coordinate anything—we handle that part.
Routes get smarter
More subscribers on your block means better delivery routes and lower costs for everyone.
Everyone saves
The more your building participates, the more frequently we deliver and the more you save.
What we believe
Families shouldn't overpay for basics
Essentials are called essentials for a reason. The price shouldn't depend on whether you own a car or have a basement.
Quality time beats warehouse runs
Every hour spent hauling bulk goods is an hour you could spend with your family. We'd rather you have that hour back.
Community buying power, individual convenience
You get wholesale prices because your neighbors order too. But you don't have to organize anything—just subscribe and we handle the rest.
