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."
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Plant-based Marketplaces
- Creating online marketplaces to sell plant-based products is becoming increasingly popular.
- Subscription Meal-kit Services
- Providing customers with meal-kits that contain vegan options is a growing trend in the food industry.
- Convenience and Selection
- Online marketplaces that offer both convenience and a wide selection of vegan products are disrupting traditional vegan grocers.
Sectors Adopting This
- E-commerce
- The rise of online vegan marketplaces presents a promising opportunity for e-commerce platforms to enter the plant-based market.
- Food and Beverage
- Food and beverage companies have the chance to capitalize on the growing demand for vegan options by expanding their plant-based offerings.
- Retail
- Retail stores can invest in expanding their vegan options and competing with online marketplaces for customers seeking convenience and selection.
