6,500 square foot vegan food hall to open on Labor Day Weekend

Located in the heart of Chicago's Uptown neighborhood, the 6,500 square foot food hall will feature a central bar with vegan bar food and vegan wine pairings provided by VeganWines.com and a bodega-style grocery store with a cheese monger provided by Good Planet. There will be six unique concepts including a coffee roaster featuring PlantX's own Portfolio Coffee.

We're excited for our opening which is only two months away!"

"PlantX is redefining the vegan lifestyle, transforming vegan food and beverage from an afterthought to the main attraction," commented Macromia CEO Barre Tanguis.
