Vegans on the Run finds home on Texas Avenue

On World Vegan Day, Joslin Mar-Dai was dressed in all green. It matched the green entrance of her new brick-and-mortar home for her business, Vegans on the Run. Not yet open, but getting close. A ribbon cutting was scheduled because it was a big milestone for an important date. “Today is more than a ribbon cutting,” Mar-Dai said to the crowd outside the shop. “Today is six years of Vegans on the Run, and today we're standing in front of a building with our name on it.” Cheers erupted, and Mar-Dai gave out a screech of happiness. Mar-Dai took a moment to reflect back on the journey she began with her daughter and mother, “We sold vegan food wherever to whoever would give us an opportunity to.” The shop will be next to Sipp House, owned by Shika Sims.
