The Financial Post reports in its Friday edition that Cineplex announced Wednesday the majority of its 168 locations across 10 provinces will sell surplus popcorn, nachos and hot dogs at a discount through a partnership with mobile app Too Good To Go. The Post's Jane Switzer writes that the app, which expanded into Canada in 2021, aims to help restaurants, grocery stores, bakeries and other retailers cut down on waste by selling excess food at reduced prices. Cineplex's Kevin Watts says the program is a "simple and scalable" solution for the national chain to redirect its extra treats. He says: "Like in many food service environments where demand can vary throughout the day, some surplus concession items at the end of service were unavoidable. Prior to this partnership, those unsold items would typically not be resold and could go to waste." To find snacks on the cheap without buying a movie ticket, consumers can look up nearby participating Cineplex theatres through Too Good To Go. Theatres will sell two types of "surprise bags": one with popcorn for $5.99 and one with a mix of concession snacks (popcorn, nachos and/or hot dogs) for $8.99. Mr. Watts says a pilot program on the app had "encouraging early demand."
