GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. -- After COVID-19 caused delays in rolling out Flashfood to all its stores across the Midwest in 2020, Meijer is on track to complete implementation of the food waste reduction program this year.
While also cutting down on in-store food waste, the initiative allows customers to purchase food nearing its sell-by date – like meat, produce, seafood, deli and bakery products – at up to 50 percent off on the Flashfood app, and then pick them up at Meijer stores.
"Minimizing in-store food waste is the right thing to do for our communities and our customers," said Don Sanderson, Group Vice President of Foods for Meijer. "We're pleased to expand our relationship with Flashfood throughout our footprint and offer this opportunity to all our customers."
