With the Minnesota Timberwolves basketball team, plant-based brand Wicked Kitchen will be opening an entirely plant-based concession stand at the Target Center. This new stand at the home court of the Timberwolves in Minneapolis also happens to be the home of Wicked's headquarters and it marks the first time that the brand will be serving sports teams and fans.
On the menu, hungry event-goers will find sandwiches like the Grilled Chorizo Brat or the Meatball Sub, as well as frozen novelties like the Berry White Stick or the Chocolate & Red Berry Cone, and other lupin bean-based frozen desserts. These craveable menu items speak to the growing number of consumers who are looking for alternative options in meat and dairy without compromise.
