Win Big for Sherpa's 18th Birthday!

It might be hard to believe, but Sherpa’s is turning 18 years old this month!

Since starting operations in downtown Shanghai in 1999, they’ve expanded across Shanghai and spread over to Beijing and Suzhou. Over millions of square kilometers, countless meals and the rise and fall of a myriad of partner restaurants, they’ve been delivering tasty meals to hungry customers.

When tasked with finding an internship for his China Europe International Business School MBA, American Mark Secchia founded his own company instead. You guessed it. That company was Sherpa’s.

The original office was located in a cleaning company that Mark borrowed from his friend after the company closed its doors for the day at 5.30pm. After the cleaning team would clock out, the Sherpa’s crew would come inside to use the computers. The first couriers were equipped with wooden delivery boxes strapped on the back of bicycles as well as baseball hats. The first uniforms came later when one of the original team member’s mothers made them by hand.


It was a stressful start. Mark would stand outside of expat hubs in Shanghai like Plaza 66 and the Portman with photocopied menus, handing out fliers and asking people to try out the delivery service. After pulling out large amounts of hair, Mark contemplated calling it quits and dissolving the company. Thankfully, he stuck it out. Sherpa’s is now partnered with hundreds of partner restaurants and operates all across Shanghai, Beijing, and Suzhou! Whether you’re looking for an American dinner, Indian curry or an Italian pizza and pasta feast, their professional courier team can make it happen.


How are they going to celebrate 18 years of foodie fun? By giving away some really big prizes, duh. You read correctly. They’re giving you presents for their birthday.
