The growing appeal of a healthier, plant-based diet is evident in the number of people making the transition to veganism worldwide. While the statistics are hard to pin down precisely, the Plant Proteins papers found the number of vegans in the United States has increased by 600 percent since 2014 (https://ibn.fm/8Py2P) and the Guardian reported that the participants in the annual January vegan event “Veganuary” was expected to rise from a record 580,000 last year to more than 2 million this year (https://ibn.fm/lQwLC). 

Veganuary’s 2021 report noted that people from 209 countries participated in the month-long go-vegan challenge (https://ibn.fm/Od6hs). But transition to a vegan diet also comes with some negative side-effects that may discourage people from sticking with the changes they’ve made to their lifestyle in pursuit of better health (https://ibn.fm/veQXl). 

Progressive plant-based lifestyle platform builder PlantX Life (CSE: VEGA) (Frankfurt: WNT1) (OTCQB: PLTXF) has developed a growing slate of online resources to help educate people about plant-based living while simultaneously building a North American product distribution network — all part of its mission to be a one-stop shopping source for the plant-based community. 

Recent posts on the company’s blog (https://ibn.fm/Zv5G7) tout everything from the benefits of a delicious vegan hot chocolate during the winter months to air-purifying plants that not only add to a home’s decor but its overall health as well. 

The company’s YouTube channel (https://ibn.fm/LEcpS) features its new “Medically Speaking” science-based programming as well as a variety of streams that provide information on recipes, fitness, and associated social matters. 

The PlantX video podcast series (https://ibn.fm/YoWP1) features interviews with business entrepreneurs, athletes and other notables who’ve dedicated themselves to making the plant-based lifestyle journey. 

“I always tell people it’s about progress, not perfection,” Olympic skier Julia Murray, who retired from competition to focus on building a breakfast cereal company and becoming a nutritionist, told PlantX founder Sean Dollinger during one of the Vodcasts. “I took about a year to transition from getting interested in eating more plants to fully calling myself vegan and using that label. … We always ate a lot of plants but I started just ditching the beef first and then the chicken and the pork and all of the meat and once I started ditching dairy especially I started noticing less inflammation overall and my skin cleared up as well, so it’s kind of a process.” 

PlantX has been adding e-commerce operations and retail outlets to help supply the growing demand for plant-based products. The company expects to have additional locations open by the end of this year, which will serve their local communities while also performing a vital function as fulfillment centers for the growing e-commerce infrastructure.

Among the most recent openings celebrated by PlantX are two Chicago-area stores acquired from plant-based market and e-commerce platform Peter Rubi. The Uptown Chicago store will rebrand under PlantX’s Xmarket umbrella, while the Plainfield store on the southwest edge of the metropolitan area will retain the Peter Rubi name, adding “by PlantX.” Starting Feb. 15, the stores will only carry 100 percent plant-based items and will begin offering weekly sampling sessions to give shoppers opportunities to try new brands (https://ibn.fm/QP7Yt).

The stores will help fulfill e-commerce orders and enhance the company’s e-commerce success in the U.S. Midwest.
