Sure Portland, Oregon has the next
grocerant niche start-up grocery store that is most likely go public in New Season Market. Yes,
Foodservice Solutions® Grocerant Guru® Steven Johnson thinks that New Season
Market is a better growth prospect than Whole Foods Market , Wegmans, or Sprouts
Farmers Market.
Yes, Johnson favorite concept
grocerant niche retailer in the United States is in Portland, Oregon and that
concept is Green Zebra
Grocery
as regular readers of this blog know.
Green Zebra Grocery currently has three stores open currently and a
fourth in development.
However there is another innovative
grocerant niche concept that could prove as a formidable restaurant,
convenience store, and even a grocery store sector disruptor. That concept is a
vegan convenience store called Food Fight! Ok, the name in this case tells the
story. Look out traditional retailers.
Food
Fight! recently opened its second location in Portland, offering products
such as coconut bacon, vegan haggis and caviar, meatless jerky and a wide
variety of other dairy products including meat-free products. What we like best
about Food Fight! which will come as no surprise is its line of grab-and-go
vegan sandwiches, whose product names include Lord of the Wings, Steak Bite
Love and the Notorious B.L.T.
Food
Fight! owners Chad Miller and Emiko
Badillo opened the first unit in 2003 after moving from New York City to
Portland, when the husband and wife discovered they had to visit multiple
stores to purchase all the vegan products they wanted.
"We
couldn't get all the things we wanted in one store when we were grocery
shopping so we just decided to go for it and open our own — and get super into
credit card debt," Miller said. "We try to make it seem like less
like self-flagellation, self-sacrifice and make it a bunch of fun food,"
Miller said. "You don't have to give up corn dogs." Food Fight where you can get a
‘Better-for-You’ corn dog. Now you know.
