(WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- More plant-based goods will soon be available in Uptown.
Vancouver, Canada-based PlantX Life Inc. has announced plans to open a 6,500-square-foot food hall in the 800 block of West Montrose Avenue that will showcase vegan offerings. It is partnering with Macromia Group on the project, which will feature vegan food vendors, a bodega-style shop and a coffee shop, among other offerings.
"Chicago has emerged as one of the largest vegan and health-conscious communities in North America, making it an ideal location to introduce our all-in-one vegan food hall concept," Lorne Rapkin, CEO of PlantX, said in a news release. “We are planning an amazing culinary experience that will set the standard for food halls for vegans and non-vegans alike.”
PlantX is planning a soft launch targeted for Aug. 23 with a grand opening for Labor Day Weekend.
