The official grand opening will take place on October 14 and feature products from Beyond Meat® and other local plant-based brands 

VANCOUVER, British Columbia — October 13, 2021 /CNW/ — PlantX Life Inc. (CSE: VEGA) (Frankfurt: WNT1) (OTCQB: PLTXF) (“PlantX” or the “Company“) is delighted to announce that PlantX will be hosting an event on October 14 to kick off the official grand opening of its brick-and-mortar XMarket store in Squamish, British Columbia (“XMarket Squamish”). The purpose of the event is to celebrate the Squamish community and local plant-based brands. Guests will also be able to enjoy delicious items featuring Beyond Meat®, a leader in plant-based protein. 

PlantX is inspiring consumers with innovative plant-based products as part of the Company’s plant-based pop-up market celebrating the official launch of XMarket Squamish (“XMarket Grand Opening Barbecue”). Sampling delicious and nutritious plant-based products, like Beyond Meat, at the event creates an opportunity for the local Squamish community to experience and learn more about the benefits of plant-based products. 

“Beyond Meat is one of the plant-based pioneers continuing to catalyze the plant-based movement, and we’re thrilled to share their high-quality products with our Squamish community at the official launch of XMarket Squamish,” said Sean Dollinger, PlantX Founder. 

The XMarket Official Grand Opening Barbecue is a free and interactive celebration marking the official opening of XMarket Squamish, the Company’s flagship physical retail location in Canada. XMarket Squamish was initially launched in May 2021. However, the opening event was initially delayed by COVID-related restrictions. This XMarket event is an opportunity for the Company to officially celebrate the opening of its Squamish store after a few months of successful operational activity. The event will take place in the 15,000-square-foot commercial space of the PlantX Squamish Location, which includes the Locavore Bar & Grill, and other related businesses including the Cloudburst Café and Locavore Food Truck. 

As part of the XMarket Grand Opening festivities, the Company will be offering a storewide sale, educational experiences, product tastings, promotional offers, and a draw with a grand prize of all the PlantX favorite plant-based items. In addition to Beyond Meat, the festival will also be supported by other local brands that will be educating the community by distributing free product samples, including Truffula, Mogiana Coffee, Clover Tea and Sea Cider. 

The grand opening of PlantX’s plant-based market aims to officially welcome the Squamish community to its store, boost awareness of the Squamish XMarket brand, as well as catalyze community engagement and foster new partnerships with local plant-based brands. Additionally, PlantX will be capitalizing on the event to further promote its products and recipes, as well as create an educational and interactive opportunity for customers to experience the feasibility, accessibility, and delicious aspects of a plant-based lifestyle. 

“By organizing a plant-based barbecue to celebrate our XMarket Squamish location, we hope to bring plant-based value to life in a highly interactive way, and help our community experience the fun and delicious benefits of what plant-based lifestyle can offer!” said Lorne Rapkin, PlantX CEO. “We estimate that more than 250 people will be attending our event, and we are looking forward to showing our customers that plant-based food is not only delicious but also highly accessible and fun for all, whether they are vegan or otherwise.”
