Las Vegas – The food waste-fighting app Too Good To Go has officially launched in Las Vegas, expanding its mission to connect consumers with local businesses that have surplus food. The formal market rollout occurred on August 27, 2025, following a successful pilot initiative that began in 2024 to gauge customer interest.
Founded in 2015, Too Good To Go aims to combat food waste while supporting local businesses and providing affordable meal options for consumers. The app allows users to purchase “surprise bags” of surplus food from various participating restaurants, convenience stores, and bakeries at a significantly reduced price—typically ranging from $5 to $10. Discounts on these bags can sometimes reach over 70% off their retail value.
With the app, customers can enjoy a diverse selection of food options, including sushi, Indian cuisine, doughnuts, fresh produce, baked goods, and surplus fish parts. Each surprise bag contains items chosen by the store, and consumers can view a list of possible contents before purchase. Customers are encouraged to reach out to the stores directly for any allergy concerns or ingredient inquiries.
Too Good To Go has made significant strides in its mission, allowing consumers to save over 1 million meals each month through its marketplace. Since its inception, the app has grown to boast approximately 120 million registered users worldwide and has helped save more than 500 million meals globally. As of 2025, the app has expanded its operations to over 30 cities, including Las Vegas, with plans to extend its reach to all U.S. cities with over 1 million residents by the end of the year.
The company is based in Copenhagen, Denmark, and operates across 19 countries, including various regions in Europe, Australia, and North America. In addition, Too Good To Go has partnered with major food industry players, including ALDI, Unilever, and Whole Foods Market, contributing to a notable reduction in food waste.
The advent of the Too Good To Go app aligns with a growing awareness among consumers concerning food waste and sustainability. With restaurants and stores often discarding surplus food that is still edible, the app addresses a critical issue by making it easier for consumers to rescue this food while also saving money.
The launch of Too Good To Go in Las Vegas is expected to resonate with both residents and visitors alike, offering a new way to enjoy delicious meals while making an environmentally conscious choice. The platform not only provides an affordable dining solution but also emphasizes the importance of reducing food waste and supporting local businesses, thus cultivating a community-driven response to an ongoing problem.
As the app continues to grow in popularity, it highlights a significant shift in consumer behavior whereby people are increasingly seeking solutions that are both economically beneficial and environmentally responsible.
In conclusion, Too Good To Go represents an innovative approach to tackling food waste, offering a means for consumers to engage with their local food ecosystem in a sustainable manner. The official launch in Las Vegas marks another milestone in the app’s journey to create a more sustainable food system across the globe.
