Botanical Vegan Cafe & Market

Botanical Vegan Cafe & Market spews shades of luscious leafy green onto Commercial Avenue as Aspinwall’s latest addition of eateries. Opening to the public on March 2nd, 2020 as Stroll LLC’s rebranded jungle-speakeasy cafe, Botanical is primarily a lunch destination providing customers with quick, healthy, and beautifully presented vegan options that fuel the community to function at their highest capacity. Botanical’s products include smoothies, juices, acai bowls, health shots, a full coffee bar, salads, soups, sandwiches, quinoa bowls, and snacks such as hummus dips, chips, and veggie sticks. All items can be made to go or enjoyed in its leafy green cafe.

It costs approximately $4000 per month to keep the store open. $8,000 of the funds will be placed to the side to ensure the store remains open and the utilities are paid for two months. To operate the store comfortably requires two people at all times. The owner will fill one of those positions to cut costs and the average amount of pay for one month on a full time basis is about $1800 with taxes. $2,000 of the fund will be placed to the side to provide for payroll. This meets the minimum goal for funding.
