Too Good To Go Expands to Kansas City: Saving Meals and Making a Difference
"Fighting Food Waste and Saving Money - One Box at a Time"
Too Good To Go's Impact in Kansas City
Too Good To Go has already made a significant impact in the state. As stated by Sarah Soteroff, the Head of Public Relations for North America, more than 60 businesses have signed up. In just 2 days of being live in Missouri alone, they have saved an astonishing 8,000 meals. This shows the potential for positive change and the importance of such initiatives.
One of the first local businesses to embrace this concept was Mr. D's Donuts. Co-owner Johnny Chen shared their story. "We first came across Too Good To Go while scrolling through Instagram. We reached out to them, and it turned out we were the second customer in the entire Kansas City area." This shows the reach and accessibility of the app.
Benefits for Local Businesses
For local businesses like Mr. D's Donuts, the partnership with Too Good To Go has been beneficial. On a Friday afternoon close to closing time, two people came in to pick up their boxes. Chen explained, "We usually put a dozen donuts in there, which could be a mix of regular and some specialty ones." This not only helps them clear out excess inventory but also reaches new customers.
Chen has also been spreading the word about the app to other business owners. He uses it personally to support other local businesses, highlighting the win-win situation. "You can fight food waste and save some money in your pocket. It's a great way to contribute to the community while also benefiting your business."
Other Local Companies Joining the Movement
Other local companies in the Kansas City area are also getting on board with Too Good To Go. Bay Boy Sandwiches, Post Coffee Company, Taco Naco, Donutology, and Cafe Ca Phe are among the businesses using the app. This shows the growing acceptance and support for this innovative approach to food waste reduction.
By working together, these businesses are making a positive impact on the environment and the local community. Too Good To Go is truly making a difference one box at a time.
