Everli Details Asset-Light E-Grocery Model in Italy

NEW YORK, NY, United States - Everli Global Inc. outlined the business model behind its retail network, operating exclusively in Italy across more than 60 provinces. Everli has partnered with over 95 retailers, including all 13 of Italy's largest grocers such as Lidl, Coop, Conad, Carrefour, and Esselunga, providing access to products from more than 1,150 stores.

The company is progressing toward its proposed business combination with Melar Acquisition Corp. I (Nasdaq: MACI). Upon closing, the combined company is expected to operate as Everli Global Holdings Inc. and trade on Nasdaq under the ticker EVRL.

How the Model Works

Everli connects consumers with trusted grocery retailers via its app or website. Independent personal shoppers fulfill orders directly in stores using Everli pre-paid cards before delivering to customers. The asset-light platform runs on existing retail partner stores without requiring warehouses, delivery fleets, or inventory investments.
