The store,brought to you.
The affordable-luxury amenity people expect. Autonomous 24/7 retail, inside every place people live, learn, heal, and work.
Surplus is the leading micro-retail platform, deploying community- and amenity-driven retail pods for living, working, and playing.

it right inside.
A fully managed, AI-run store in your lobby. Zero cost. Zero staff. Open 24/7. Real grocery, real household, cheaper than convenience, and it pays the property back.
From “nothing to grab” to “already home.”
