MIDDLESEX CENTRE, ONT. -- Globally Local, the vegan fast-food chain that began in London, went public on Friday with its debut on the Toronto Stock Exchange's Venture Exchange. Believed to be one of the first vegan fast-food chains, the company now also manufactures proprietary plant-based protein and dairy alternatives. Products like burgers, 'ChickUN' and milkshakes are made using locally-sourced and sustainable ingredients. Co-founders James and Vasiliki McInnes opened their first location in 2016 in downtown London. They began manufacturing their own products just two years later. They are also using 'smart kitchens' with the goal of food consistency, quick service, low costs and simplified training.
