Globally Local, the world's first 24-hour vegan drive-thru, recently announced the launch of its Hot Fudge Brownie Sundae. The popular vegan fast food chain is based in London, Ontario, and will be franchising shortly to deliver high-quality, affordable vegan food nationally.
The decadent vegan sundae is completely nut free and vegan. It includes a fudge brownie on a delicious coconut ice cream and is topped off with a rich hot fudge sauce. The launch of the sundae follows Globally Local's coconut soft serve launch just a few months prior, which sold out in its first day.
The new dessert will be made 100% in-house, making it the ideal option for any conscious consumer.
