Until recently, 1591 Dundas West was the site of the Cannabis Bliss Herbal Society (RIP). Looks like the storefront will now be home to a different kind of green stuff: Vegan groceries and pantry items, courtesy of Good Rebel.
Billing itself as “Toronto’s vegan grocer”, the store will specialize in herbivorous versions of non-vegan foods. The store’s founders, Mercedes Featherby and Mohseen Akbarali, said in a press release that “vegan food is not about restrictions, but rather reinvention, and one shouldn’t have to give up the foods they love in order to eat a more plant-based diet.”
What that means for shoppers: A variety of vegan meats and cheeses, along with tougher-to-replicate items like seafood and eggs, plus a selection of grab-and-go meals.
Good Rebel is set to open sometime this month follow them on Facebook or Instagram for updates.
