PLANTX WELCOMES MEEK'S VEGAN PIZZA TO CHICAGO FOODHALL LINEUP

Plantx Life Inc. has made an exciting addition to the Chicago food hall lineup. Meek's Vegan Kitchen, showcasing Meek's famous vegan pizza with its origins in the dynamic culinary landscape of Houston, Tex., is primed to enthrall pizza lovers in the Windy City.

Meek's Vegan Kitchen, a celebrated black-owned establishment, is renowned for its unwavering commitment to cruelty-free ethics and the creation of exquisite flavours. The culinary sensation was conceived by Demetrius Walker, a dedicated father on a mission to craft a vegan pizza that would captivate his son's taste buds. In May, 2022, Antonio (Tone) Barnes, a fellow culinary visionary and seasoned entrepreneur, presented his long-time friend, Mr. Walker, with an exciting opportunity to expand and establish a location in Palos Heights, Ill. To bring this dream to fruition, Mr. Barnes rallied a group of like-minded individuals. Together, they formed Makas Management, a dynamic team composed of Mr. Barnes, Mr. Walker, Allen Slovick, Gregory Henderson and Keith Johnson. Their collaborative efforts culminated in the birth of Meek's Vegan Kitchen, which opened its doors in February of this year.

Mr. Barnes commented on the exciting update, stating: "I've faced challenges, embraced opportunities and dedicated myself to this journey. It's been a path of hard work, but I'm humbled and grateful for the opportunity. With Meek's Vegan Kitchen, we aim to create something extraordinary to give our all to a community that deserves nothing but the best. I'm confident in our mission and gracious for the chance to make it a reality."

The transition of Meek's Vegan Kitchen into Plantx's food hall signifies the end of Plantx's unique collaboration with Kitchen 17's Station 17:B, which stood apart from other food hall restaurants, due to Plantx's management and procurement of wholesale products from Kitchen 17. With Kitchen 17's primary focus on expanding its wholesale enterprise, it was not originally contracted to fully oversee the food hall concept. After a month of operations, Plantx has recognized that partnering with restaurants looking to run their own restaurant operations is the ideal approach. This allows Plantx to focus on top-level food hall operations while restaurant owners can take over the complete management of their booths. Plantx reaffirms its dedication to supporting Kitchen 17's restaurant and will continue to stock Kitchen 17's frozen products both in Plantx's bodega and on Plantx's on-line store.

The Kitchen 17 owners weighed in on the changes: "We have been partnering with Plantx to carry our wholesale product since their inception in Chicago and are excited to continue that partnership with the bodega. For our frozen pizzas, wholesale just makes more sense; and, while we were eager to give Plantx's food hall partnership a try, we understand their desire to stop operating a booth and bring in a self-contained outside vendor. We wish Meek's all the best and welcome them to the Chicago pizza community."

Sean Dollinger, the founder of Plantx, expressed his enthusiasm: "After my first call with Tone and the entire team behind Meek's, I was just so blown away by the grit and hustle, and I knew they needed to be a part of what we're doing here. I would also like to give a shoutout to Joe and Jennie from Kitchen 17. They have been amazing partners since day one, and I know their wholesale business is going to thrive. I cannot wait to see sales for their frozen pizzas on-line and in our bodega."

This transition marks an exciting chapter in Plantx's journey to redefine plant-based dining, and the company looks forward to the continued support of its dedicated patrons and the warm embrace of Meek's Vegan Kitchen.
