That’s why we’re thrilled to partner with Too Good To Go — the world’s largest B2C marketplace for surplus food and the 7th most downloaded food and drink app globally.   Together, we’re making a difference: ✅ Since launching in Melbourne this September, 16 Muffin Break and Jamaica Blue stores have joined forces with TGTG, saving over 1,000 meals/surprise bags and avoiding more than 3,000kg of CO2e emissions. ✅ This initiative not only helps the environment but also empowers our customers and franchisees to be part of a movement that’s making a real difference.   What’s next? 🚀 We’re expanding to 14 Sydney stores and another 19 in Victoria, bringing more Muffin Break and Jamaica Blue cafes into this impactful program.   Food waste is a growing challenge with serious environmental, social, and economic implications, and we are proud to partner with Too Good To Go to contribute to a meaningful change.   #Foodco #TooGoodToGo #Sustainability #FoodWasteReduction #MuffinBreak #JamaicaBlue
