The top 5 vegan businesses in Vancouver
Living as a vegan or vegetarian in Vancouver can actually be pretty easy thanks to a host of cool, sustainability-focused businesses.
These include eateries, spas, expos, and everything that stems back to the green, sustainable vegan approach.
And to celebrate that, we’ve compiled a list of the five top vegan businesses operating in the city.
Willow’s Wax Bar
Willow’s Wax Bar is Vancouver’s first fully vegan spa. It offers lash extensions, facials, cosmetic tattooing, and waxing. The spa supports other small businesses in being cruelty-free, helping to give Vancouverites more access to ethical beauty. Oh, and it helps that the owner, Rhiannon, is awesome.

Veg Expo
Veg Expo is the biggest natural food event of the year and it provides a platform for vegan/vegetarian consumers and businesses to connect. It brings international speakers diverse in plant-based lifestyles to lend their knowledge to locals, giving you an opportunity to learn.
It also creates a fun and safe atmosphere for everyone from veg-curious to full-time vegans to discover new products. It allows you to learn how you can improve your life with plant-based options. And, you can also connect with likeminded individuals when the event takes place at Vancouver’s Convention Centre West on Sunday, May 28.
