Vegano Foods, a Vancouver-based 100% plant-based meal-kit service company, launched a vegan marketplace that carries everything from plant-based milk alternatives to vegan protein powders. This new marketplace was created to provide the experience and selection of a boutique vegan grocer with the convenience of e-commerce.
Already, there are more than 500 products from plant-based brands like Bob's Red Mill, Earth's Own, and The Very Good Butchers, and this number will only continue to grow.
Conor Power, the Founder and CEO of Vegano Foods, says "The pandemic has shown us how challenging it can be for people to prepare easy vegan meals at home. Our customer base has grown significantly over the last four months, and we're happy to have received such a positive response from our meal-kit subscribers."
