Vegan Junk Food Bar, the popular Amsterdam-founded plant-based eatery, recently announced plans for international expansion with a new location in Barcelona, Spain. The brand is renowned for its "crave-worthy" junk food, having won two prizes at the Dutch Vegan Awards. The new location will be open daily for lunch, dinner, and takeaway options.
The brand began as a small restaurant and currently has four locations in the Netherlands. Its new announcement was "a logical consequence" of the high demand and franchise requests the Vegan Junk Food Bar has recently received. The plant-based eatery also stated it plans to eventually make its way to the UK.
As more consumers opt for plant-based options, niche restaurants like this will continue to expand to meet demand.
