World's First All-Vegan Mini-Mall in Portland, Ore

[Calliegirl]

Attention all vegan shoppers: You're definitely in the right place.

Fish-free "toona"? Check. Sweet potato dog treats? Absolutely. Coconut bacon? Yep.

And Bryan Zurek working the check-out stand — a 27-year-old who hasn't used an animal product since 2006, who plays in a punk band and whose right arm is covered with "animal revenge" tattoos. (More about those later.)

You're wandering the well-stocked aisles of Food Fight!, a rare, all-vegan grocery store in the middle of what is billed as the world's first vegan mini-mall. In Portland. In Oregon. Of course...

The world's first vegan mini-mall. Yeah, you're in Portland - LA Times

I know Food Fight grocery and a vegan tattoo shop had been there for years... I imagine whatever non-vegan businesses shared the location finally left and were replaced. Picture how awkward that could be... all the other businesses biding their time... waiting for the last non-vegan business' lease to run out and subtly hinting "We don't want YOUR KIND around here anymore" *cue Western stand-off music*

I would love to live in Portland!

Lucky you! I love Portland. I would live there if it wasn't so far away.
