New vegan restaurant VEG-N opening in Lansing

LANSING, Mich. (WILX) - If you’re a vegan, or just looking to eat a little healthier in the new year, there is a new option coming to mid-Michigan.

A new plant-based restaurant, Veg-N, is bringing new food options to Lansing. Despite the pandemic, the restaurant has managed to grow over the last year, having started as a food truck in 2019.

Even though a lot of restaurants have been struggling during the pandemic, the founder felt like a brick and mortar restaurant (located at 902 E Cesar E Chavez, Lansing, MI 48906) was the right next step. Right now they’re offering a drive-thru option to limit in-person interaction.

Veg-N CEO and Cofounder Christabelle Dozeman says whether you’re vegan or not, they have options for everyone.

“We’re here for you if it’s one meal or if it’s a whole lifestyle change that you’re after,” said Dozeman. “We’re not here to take your meat away by any means, we just want to add something new to the area that the area has definitely been lacking.”

The owners are hoping to open Feb. 1, when restaurants are allowed to reopen for in-person dining across the state. The menu can be viewed here.
