Iasi therefore becomes the second city where the app is available in Romania, after Bucharest, where Munch arrived six months ago.
“The entry on the Iasi market is one step forward for Munch, which started with a discussion with our partners at PETRU and was implemented in no time. We are looking at a new market of more than 271,000 people, who can join our mission to curb food waste while benefitting from significantly lower prices,” said Alexandru Turcanu, country manager of Munch Romania.
Pretzel and pastry shop chain PETRU is a key partner for Munch’s expansion in Iasi, as it has 30 locations registered with the platform, 27 of which in the city. The other partners of Munch in Iasi are Friscot, Augur, Local and Local by Krud, Bistro La Noi, Acaju, Pasta House, KungFood, Harmony Café, Blue Acqua, La Papa’s Casa Gratarului and Fresh Apetit.
Munch enables users to buy food at 50% to 70% off the initial price. The users reserve the products, pay for them online and go to pick them up from the chosen place at the time set.
