TORONTO — More than half of Canada’s Tim Hortons restaurants are now working with Too Good To Go to help reduce food waste.
“One of the goals in our Tims For Good platform is to reduce food waste as much as possible and we’re excited by the progress and learnings we’ve developed through working with Too Good To Go so far and we’re looking forward to expanding to more Tims restaurants soon,” says Paul Yang, senior director of Sustainability, Procurement and Packaging for Tim Hortons.
The Too Good To Go app offers guests a chance to purchase surplus foods from the end of the day with a goal of preventing food waste. At participating Tim Hortons restaurants in cities including Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Regina, Saskatoon, Windsor, Ottawa, Sherbrooke and Montreal, guests can use the Too Good To Go app to purchase a selection of surplus assorted baked goods with a retail value of $15 or more for just $4.99. A Too Good To Go selection from Tim Hortons could include doughnuts, Timbits, bagels, cookies, muffins and other baked goods.
More restaurants in St. John’s, N.L., Halifax, Charlottetown, Fredericton, Moncton and Saint John, N.B. are set to start working with Too Good To Go.
“We’re excited to be working with one of Canada’s most beloved brands and help inspire Canadians to join the fight against food waste. This is a partnership built on our shared ambition to reduce as much food waste as possible and to provide an opportunity for Canadians to make a difference,” says Andrea Li, Too Good To Go Canada country director.
