History
Established in 2019.
Project Vegan 716, LLC began as The Vegan Educator in 2015. In 2018, The Vegan Educator began organizing quarterly vegan pop-up markets. As interest grew and the number of vendors and attendees rose, we decided to change our business structure and open a storefront. In addition to the storefront, we built a commercial kitchen to help vegan business owners jumpstart their cooking/baking/catering businesses. We work collaboratively with other vegan and vegan-friendly business owners to help serve and grow the vegan community. While all of our work is vegan-friendly, all are welcome at The Vegan Center!
