A new restaurant chain is getting ready to open their doors in Southern Nevada.
According to PowerSoul Cafe officials, they are the "world's first certified gluten-free fast-food restaurant chain". The company was created by Las Vegas-based entrepreneur Dina Mitchell.
"Cheers to my investors, supporters, vendors, and team. We did this. We're officially opening," Mitchell said. "Now, Las Vegans and those who visit our great city will be the first to see what I have been working on for the last two years and experience our mouthwatering smoothies and healthy, delicious fast food while experiencing the powerful and soulful culture we're bringing to life."
According to a press release, the flagship PowerSoul Cafe, as well as their central kitchen, will be located at 8180 West Warm Springs Road, at Tarkanian Plaza and is hosting its grand opening on Jan. 19.
