VANCOUVER, British Columbia — June 29, 2023 — PlantX Life Inc. (CSE: VEGA) (Frankfurt: WNT1) (OTCQB: PLTXF) (“PlantX” or the “Company”), the digital face of the plant-based community, operating a one-stop shop for plant-based products, today announced that it has engaged the Macromia Group (“Macromia”), a restaurant developer specializing in building high-end dining and retail locations from concept to creation, to help complete construction and operate PlantX’s innovative XMarket Vegan Food Hall in Chicago. 

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. The upper level of the location is already home to a state-of-the-art ecommerce distribution facility.

“Chicago has emerged as one of the largest vegan and health-conscious communities in North America, making it an ideal location to introduce our all-in-one vegan food hall concept,” said PlantX CEO, Lorne Rapkin. “In collaboration with Macromia, the master in developing premium concepts that have garnered both a loyal following and critical acclaim, we are planning an amazing culinary experience that will set the standard for food halls for vegans and non-vegans alike. 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. “We are eager to work with the PlantX team to help bring their vision of Chicago’s largest vegan food hall to life for vegans, vegetarians and health-conscious consumers in the Windy City all in one vibrant location.”
