While online shopping has become the norm for many people, many still prefer to shop in physical stores.  This is especially true for home-based products like furniture and decoration.  No matter how many pictures someone looks at online, seeing the physical product in person is always preferable when it’s going to be on display in one’s home.

Cool person in technology Alex Loizou has created a product that uses the resources of the web to help people who prefer to shop in the physical world.  Loizou’s product StreetHub has a database of items on sale in retail shops and boutiques.  Using GPS technology to cross-reference with this database, Loizou’s website connects users with nearby shops that carry the specific products and items they want.  This way, a user can browse through products online but still go out and purchase them from a physical store once they find what they want from the convenience of their home.  If someone is on Loizou’s site and sees a set of table and chairs they like, or any other product, that person can still go to the store and see it in person before buying.  StreetHub could be a godsend for anyone who has ever bought items online only for them to be very different than a shopping website represented them.  Since StreetHub uses Wi-Fi and GPS to determine location, someone who has a computer with these features broken may need home computer repair to use Loizou’s service.

Loizou’s company lets people purchase items online before going to the store if they are simply looking for the convenience of walking in and picking up their purchase.  StreetHub even has wish list sections like most other shopping sites.  However, the connection with local shops and partnerships with small businesses are what makes Loizou’s startup unique from other shopping sites.  Loizou often collaborates with small, local businesses that sell specialty items that the mass market won’t have.  This difference is key as it gives Loizou a distinct audience from other online shopping sites.  Any businesses that want to partner with StreetHub should have business IT support to ensure their technology works with Loizou’s system.

Loizou had a long career as a web and mobile developer before forming his own company.  He spent time working for companies including IBM, inBIT, Medlock, and Kliqued.  In early 2013, he finally decided to create his own venture by opening up StreetHub.  The tech industry has many examples of coders and developers becoming successful businesspersons through the startup process.  Loizou hopes to join this group as he builds StreetHub and does his best to continue his success.
