The Save Mart Companies has expanded Flashfood to 11 Save Mart banner stores in Stanislaus County, California, with the rollout providing shoppers up to 50 percent off fresh produce, meat, dairy and other groceries.
The company introduced Flashfood to California shoppers in March 2024, becoming the state’s first retailer to offer the program. Since then, the partnership has grown to dozens of locations, diverting thousands of pounds of food from landfills while delivering savings to customers.
“This expansion into the greater Stanislaus County area marks another important step in making fresh, quality food accessible to more communities,” said Flashfood CEO Jordan Schenck.
“This is a community that produces much of the state’s fresh produce, so it’s particularly important that they have access to it at affordable prices.”
Using the free Flashfood app, shoppers can browse discounted products at their participating Save Mart, purchase through the app and pick up their orders in-store.
Later this year, Flashfood will accept SNAP EBT as a payment method at Save Mart stores, providing additional savings opportunities for the 4.6 million SNAP customers in California.
“At The Save Mart Companies, we’re committed to providing innovative solutions that help families save on nutritious meals,” said Tamara Pattison, SVP and chief digital officer at The Save Mart Companies.
“We’re thrilled to expand our partnership with Flashfood across Stanislaus County and beyond, offering even more ways for our communities to eat healthy and save money.”
Flashfood is available in more than 2,000 stores across North America, diverting more than 140 million pounds of food from landfills and saving shoppers more than $355 million to date.
