Customers can purchase staples—such as Forager yogurts and Beyond Meat burgers—but can also peruse the shelves for lesser-known products such as Japanese barbecue sauce and umeboshi furikake. The owners have decided to host an extended, eight-week soft opening in preparation for a celebratory grand opening later this spring. While Orange County is home to several vegan restaurants, bakeries, and even a vegan vending machine, 7 Vegan Market will be the region’s first vegan grocer.
