Today, we’re excited to announce a partnership with Earth Fare, our first grocery partner in the southeast and a fantastic new addition to Flashfood's growing roster of independent grocers. Earth Fare, helmed by Mitch Orland, is the original specialty grocer and beloved by their communities across the southeast United States. We kicked off the festivities this morning at their flagship location in Asheville, North Carolina and will expand to additional stores throughout the month. We are thrilled to be part of Earth Fare’s efforts to reduce their food waste, and are proud to offer their shoppers great prices on their Earth Fare favorites. Stay tuned for more!

Thank you ReFED for the opportunity! Read our reflection, below ⬇
Last month, Flashfood launched our Impact Report at the ReFED #FoodWasteSummit in Baltimore. This week, they've published a reflection on the launch, the event, and what it means for the industry. Thank you Monynita Kiem from COOMER for the beautiful photography. https://lnkd.in/eyvBBPEm

We're immensely lucky to have the support of incredible in store teams across all of our grocery partners. They make sure their stores are maximizing their food waste reduction while also making connections with the community and providing excellent service during order pickups. This month, we wanted to shout out two Flashfood Champions who are making a huge impact at Stop & Shop. Anthony Criado, Non-Perishable Assistant Manager at Store 543 in West Babylon, NY has shown incredible initiative with Flashfood at his store. Since he took the reigns of the program in March of this year, he's increased the store's sales and shrink reduction opportunity by nearly 150%, and with support from Store Manager Katherine Pastore, he's set the standard very high for produce shrink: Store 543 is ranked #1 in produce boxes posted daily across Stop & Shop stores! Anthony Santilli, Store Manager at Store 608 in Colchester, CT and newly elected District Captain for the region, has shown a real passion for bettering his community. Whether he's promoting the cost savings available on Flashfood at local Town Halls, or putting his Food Waste Prevention Certificate from the University of Connecticut to good use, Anthony wears his passion for community and environment on his sleeve. Our team extends our deepest gratitude to both of these Flashfood Champions for their work. What a difference it is making!

Today, we’re very excited to announce our newest product launch: Flashfood for Independents, a B2B platform designed specifically for independently owned grocery stores. Check it out here ➡ https://lnkd.in/eeQCyfgU One of the strengths of independent grocers is that they are nimble and can make decisions quickly. We wanted a platform that could match that speed and make an impact quickly. Independent grocers play a very important role in their communities, and often serve as the only grocery store in hyper-urban or rural areas. In a challenging retail climate, we want to do our part to support independent grocers by providing an easy way to increase profits and bring in more shoppers. If you’re an independent grocer, or if you shop at an independent grocery and would like to see Flashfood in-store, reach out now ⬇ https://lnkd.in/eeQCyfgU #independentgrocers #smallbusiness #smallbusinesstools
