Flashfood

Thank you to Organic Produce Summit for having our CEO Nicholas Bertram at this year's event, alongside experts like Sherry Frey at NielsenIQ and Kevin Coupe at MorningNewsBeat and so many more. This is an exceptionally important gathering in the industry, bringing together hundreds of retailers, growers and solutions providers like us. We're looking forward to the next one!

We're so proud to be a part of this new store rollout. Congratulations to the Meijer team on this expansion, and for all of the wonderful community work you're doing. Shoppers in the Indianapolis area now have a new location to shop great deals on fresh food -- if you're in the area head over to the new store, it looks beautiful!

We've landed in Monterey for Organic Produce Summit, an event bringing together growers, retailers and manufacuterers dedicated to protecting the value of organic, fresh produce. It feels so fitting for this gathering to take place in sunny California, where so much of our nation's produce is grown and processed. Our CEO Nicholas Bertram will be taking the stage for a keynote at 10:30 am -- stop by and say hello if you're here!

Wonderful initiative from our partner The GIANT Company. This spotlights the powerful intersection of access, health and community to create hunger solutions that address nutrition and food security at the same time.

Is it a true July 4th without a cookout? 🌭 🍔 Consumers are expected to see record-level prices for cookout staples this holiday, according to CNN. Overall, food prices are up 5% from last year and up 30% from 2019. Meat in particular is going to make a dent in grocery budgets. Data from American Farm Bureau found beef prices are up 11% and pork is up 8%. We're seeing these price pressures reflected on our platform as well: in the last week, 4️⃣ of the top 5️⃣ selling items on Flashfood are beef and pork, with more than 3,700 units sold in the last week alone.

Thank you to ADWEEK and Terry Stanley for writing about our 2023 Impact Report. This newspaper concept plays on the idea that food waste, and the waste technology solving it, should be front page news -- not just because of how big the problem is, but because how solveable it is. Hats off to the entire COOMER team: David Coomer Ana Maldonado-Coomer and Madeleine Stone. What a fun one!! Read the AdWeek piece below ⬇ https://lnkd.in/d3KyFcib
