Too Good To Go exec talks expansion into new places where you can get 'surprise' bags of half-price food: 'We're the world's largest marketplace for surplus food':
[Too Good To Go, the app that prevents food waste by setting users up with its iconic half-price "surprise" bags of surplus food, has a few recent surprises of its own: You can now snag TGTG bags from major national retailers like Whole Foods and Ikea.
And if you do, you'll be joining the 100 million people worldwide who use the app, a new record the platform just reached.
"We're excited about our growth in the U.S.," Chris MacAulay, vice president at TGTG, told The Cool Down. "We're profitable and growing fast — and very excited to … push sustainability to a much bigger scale."
Since it launched in Europe in 2016, TGTG has partnered with over 170,000 of the world's top restaurants, bakeries, and grocery stores, connecting them to people around the globe who are looking to save money, reduce food waste, and maybe not have to think about what to cook for dinner once in a while.]
The Too Good To Go app connects hungry customers with cheap meals while preventing food waste — and now you can get surprise bags from Whole Foods.
