SustainabLEX-Certified Good Foods Co-op To Launch as Too Good To Go Partner
LEXINGTON, KY — Bluegrass Greensource and VisitLEX proudly congratulate Good Foods Co-op on their coming launch as an official Too Good To Go partner, further cementing their role as a leader in sustainability, community impact, and environmental stewardship in Lexington.
As a SustainabLEX certified business, Good Foods Co-op has long demonstrated a commitment to responsible practices that serve both people and the planet. Beginning March 2nd, community members can find Good Foods Co-op on the Too Good To Go app and purchase Surprise Bags filled with high-quality surplus food at a discounted price. By joining Too Good To Go, the co-op is expanding its food rescue and recovery efforts—offering customers access to high-quality surplus food at a discounted price while helping reduce food waste in our community.
Too Good To Go is a certified B Corp and social impact company on a global mission to inspire and empower everyone to fight food waste together. Through its easy-to-use app, customers can explore nearby cafés, restaurants, bakeries, grocery stores, and markets offering “Surprise Bags” filled with perfectly good surplus food at half price or less. With this launch, Good Foods Co-op joins thousands of businesses worldwide working to ensure good food is enjoyed – not wasted.
A Model for Local Businesses
Good Foods Co-op’s participation highlights how local businesses can turn surplus into opportunity. Through Too Good To Go, participating businesses can:
- Recover value from surplus or short-dated food
- Reduce food waste and environmental impact
- Reach new and existing customers
- Empower staff and customers to take part in climate-positive action
Every day, usable food goes to waste—but it doesn’t have to. Restaurants, cafés, bakeries, grocery stores, delis, and markets across Lexington are encouraged to follow Good Foods Co-op’s lead and become part of the solution.
How Too Good To Go Works for Businesses
- Sign up and list a daily “Surprise Bag” (Small, Medium, or Large)
- Set a pickup window for customers
- If no surplus is available, simply cancel that day’s bag in the app
- Receive monthly payouts (minimum $10), with a small per-bag fee and low monthly partnership cost
- Cancel any time with no long-term commitment
Join the Movement
Consumers can support local businesses, save money, and help protect the environment by downloading the Too Good To Go app and reserving a Surprise Bag from participating locations like Good Foods Co-op.
