VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / May 30, 2023 / PlantX Life Inc. (CSE:VEGA)(Frankfurt:WNT1)(OTCQB:PLTXF) ("PlantX" or the "Company"), the digital face of the plant-based community, operating a one-stop shop for plant-based products, today announced that its Little West cold-pressed juice brand has received an initial purchase order from Palace Market, a woman-owned and operated full service natural and specialty grocery store serving the town of Point Reyes Station and the surrounding West Marin coast. The order establishes Little West's presence in the vibrant and growing Northern California vegan market.
Led by a visionary team of women entrepreneurs, Palace Market is dedicated to promoting inclusivity and diversity within the natural food industry.

"Having already established a strong foothold in Southern California, Little West is now breaking into the Northern California market with Palace Market," commented Lorne Rapkin, PlantX CEO. "For more than 100 years, Palace Market has been the go-to source for specialty and organic products in West Marin, creating an optimal environment for our popular juice varieties. The vegan community in Northern California, and especially Marin County, is exceptional, and we are excited to bring new beverage options to this market."
