What ZORBA does
ZORBA is a Spain-based direct-to-consumer e-commerce retailer specializing in mountain sports, outdoor, and adventure equipment. Operated by the private limited company MEGALUJO, S.L. (NIF: B85771590), headquartered at Calle de la Salud, 10, 28013 Madrid, the business sells online exclusively through its storefront at zorba.es, serving individual outdoor enthusiasts engaged in activities such as hiking, trekking, trail running, travel, the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage, climbing, and adventure sports. A secondary use-case segment covers tactical/uniformed professional personnel requiring tactical footwear and gear.
The company functions as a multi-brand online marketplace, aggregating a catalog of more than 70 international brands including Mammut, The North Face, Salomon, Regatta, Trangoworld, Ferrino, Deuter, Osprey, Merrell, Salewa, and KEEN. Its product range spans men's and women's outdoor apparel and accessories, footwear, luggage and backpacks, general outdoor accessories, technical climbing and mountaineering equipment, and tactical gear. The underlying platform is a standard e-commerce retail stack (favicon and asset structure consistent with a PrestaShop-style deployment) offering a shopping cart, customer accounts, order tracking, and home delivery with free shipping; there is no proprietary technology, API, mobile app, or AI functionality disclosed.
ZORBA monetizes through one-time, unit-priced product sales across budget-to-premium price points (observed examples ranging from approximately €7 to €180+, e.g., a Climbing Technology crampon at €28.80 discounted from €44.90 and a Mammut men's jacket at €66.00 discounted from €110.00), with pay-as-you-go billing and frequent promotional discounting. Go-to-market is digital and domestic, centered on the Spanish market and supported by organic social presence (a Facebook page). No revenue figures, funding rounds, institutional ownership, or subsidiaries are disclosed; the company is a micro-scale operation (1–10 employees) that has been operating since 1997 and remains active.
