Goodie Bag is coming to Charleston, SC on September 6, 2024 – What is it? A mobile app designed to reduce food waste and provide local residents with affordable restaurant food options
By Mark A. Leon
Hey Charleston, South Carolina! Are you ready for Goodie Bag?
After a successful launch in Boulder, CO and Charlotte, NC, Goodie Bag is bringing the concept of reducing food waste and connecting patrons to local restaurants with affordable options to Charleston, South Carolina.
About Goodie Bag
After graduating from the University of Colorado-Boulder, our co-founders Eddy Connors and Luke Siegert established Goodie Bag. Our mission is to reduce food waste, offer more affordable options for quality food, and assist local shops in salvaging revenue and attracting new customers. We achieve this through our mobile app, which connects users with unsold but perfectly good food from local businesses at discounted prices for pickup. Initially founded in Colorado, we launched in Boulder, then expanded to Fort Collins and Denver. Then, in 2024, we moved from Colorado to Charlotte, NC. Our success in the Charlotte market has been significant, and we have received a lot of requests to come to Charleston as a result.
