Plant Power powers up for 'aggressive growth' with Inland Empire store

September 11, 2018

Plant Power Fast Food is pushing into California's Inland Empire, opening a third location this week in Redland in a curated culinary health and wellness marketplace there known as the Redlands Packing House District complex.  
 
"Everyone loves the taste and convenience of fast-food, but the present fast-food model based on animal agriculture is wrecking our health and our beautiful planet," Plant Power Co-founder and CMO Jeffrey Harris, said in a news release about the expansion. "We're committed to offering better choices for those who desire quick, tasty and convenient food."

The brand opened its first location two years ago in San Diego, followed by a northern San Diego store a year later. Now the chain's leadership said it is ready to expand with two openings this fall and has aggressive growth plans next year. 

The all-plant-based menu features the traditional "fast food" fare of burgers, wings and shakes in a planet-friendly non-traditional variation, along with wraps, salads and smoothies, according to the release.

Demand for plant-based fare grew 6 percent last year and a whopping 24 percent this year, according to recent Nielsen research. Sector projections show a precipitous rise in plant-based foods that replace traditional dairy and meat and encompass products such as milk, cheese, poultry, pork and beef.  

Customers may order online or via mobile app. All entrees cost between $5.95 and $8.95.
