The one-of-a-kind fast food establishment will be established at a former [Harvey's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harveys-buffalo-boss-menu) location in London, Ontario, with seating for 120 people. The menu items at this new Globally Local location will mimic popular fast food burgers with entirely plant-based ingredients. This includes the Famous Burger that is comparable to a [McDonald's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcdonalds-mcplant) Big Mac and the Vegan Vopper, which is a play on [Burger King's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vurger-king) classic Whopper. With this new drive-thru, Globally Local promises to offer 24/7 high-tech service, as well as "a model that we plan to take global and change the fast food industry forever." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.6/10 - Popularity: 68% | Activity: 91% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Plant-based Fast Food:** This trend presents an opportunity for companies to disrupt the traditional fast food industry with entirely plant-based menu items. - **24-hour Drive-thru:** This trend offers an opportunity to innovate by providing round-the-clock fast food service, catering to the changing needs and lifestyles of consumers. - **Vegan Convenience:** This trend shows a growing demand for vegan options and opportunities to create new products and services that cater to this demographic. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fast Food:** The fast food industry has the chance to adapt to changing consumer preferences and capitalize on the growing demand for plant-based options and 24-hour convenience. - **Technology:** This trend presents an opportunity for the tech industry to develop innovative drive-thru systems and improve overall service efficiency and customer experience. - **Hospitality:** The hospitality industry has an opportunity to cater to the needs of plant-based eaters and expand their offerings to provide convenient vegan options while staying open 24/7. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Vegan QSR Canadian Expansions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-qsr-canadian-expansions.md) - [Vegan QSR Franchise Expansions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-ottawa-location.md) - [Vegetarian Fast Food Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vurger-king.md) - [Vegan Fast-Food Nuggets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-chicken-nugget.md) - [Meatless QSR Menu Promotions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meatfree-menu.md) - [Vegan Fried Chicken Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-fried-chicken-menu.md) - [Virtual Restaurant Drive-Thrus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/virtual-drivethru.md) - [Minimal-Ingredient Vegan Proteins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/preposterous-foods.md) - [Virtual QSR Drive-Thrus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smashburger-1.md)
