A huge fully-vegan marketplace and lifestyle centre is coming to San Diego, California.
PlantX, dubbed the ‘Vegan Amazon’, is a Vancouver-based online marketplace and community.
But now U.S. shoppers will have the chance to visit the brands first ever brick and mortar store, which will launch in Hillcrest on 1st December with over 5,000 plant-based products for sale.
The 4,515 square foot store will also be home to a plant-based education center, a coffee shop, and a restaurant with plant-based meals made by LA-based chef Gregg Drusinsky.
The launch will also bring the company’s current Canadian meal delivery service to the United States, along with grab-and-go meals.
"The idea is for the San Diego location to help further that community vibe we have been creating online," said Alexandra Hoffman, PlantX’s Chief Marketing Officer.
"We want customers to come in and feel like they can ask anything. Education is always behind everything we do at PlantX, so this store will be a place where people can come in and find new ways to enhance their healthy lifestyles."
"From the E-commerce side of things, heading into the holiday season we couldn't ask for a better launch than December 1st," said Sean Dollinger, PlantX founder.
