10 decidedly different plant-based sandwiches and potato milk coffees are being launched by Manchester’s fast-growing lockdown start-up Sndwch. This plant-based milk launch is in partnership with the world’s only potato-powered milk from DUG®.
January – the month for making resolutions, getting healthier and for many thousands of consumers, embracing a vegan diet. Thankfully, the plant-based offerings launched by Manchester’s Sndwch are promising to make Veganuary anything but bland.
The sandwich and coffee shop, which has sites within General Store and Arrive’s Tomorrow building in MediaCity, has revealed a line-up of 10 original plant-based sandwiches – one to mark each year of the global campaign, which launched in 2014.
New additions include a NOT a Tuna, Spring Onion & Nori Seaweed Sesame Bagel and a NOT a Spicy Fried Chicken Onion Bagel. They join existing bestsellers including the NOT a Chicken Tikka & Onion Bhaji Sndwch.
What’s more, in its bid to bring new and more exciting vegan options to the city, Sndwch has made an unusual addition to its plant-based milks in the form of potato milk. And anyone choosing to swap their semi-skimmed or soya for spud this month will get their coffee for free, with the purchase of any plant-based sandwich.
The launch comes in partnership with DUG®, the world’s only potato-powered plant-based milk. Its new DUG® Barista blend is not only smooth, creamy, low in sugar and allergen-friendly*, but it’s planet-friendly too.
The climate footprint of potato milk is two-thirds lower than cow’s milk, and because growing potatoes is twice as land efficient as growing oats and uses 98% less water than almonds, it’s more sustainable than other plant-based milks too.
“Veganuary is all about keeping an open mind and we wanted to challenge customers to try something completely new”, commented Sndwch founder, Alex Markham. “Our vegan sandwiches are among our bestsellers and we’ve found consumers today are much more experimental with plant-based produce, particularly when there is such a clear environmental benefit.
“With our butties, you won’t find any humous or falafel – it’s all about choice and exciting plant-based combinations. We always have our eye on emerging trends too, like our plant-based tuna and nori seaweed.
As well as at its two sites in MediaCity, the vegan sandwich range is being stocked across the entire General Store group, which also has outlets in Ancoats, Castlefield, Deansgate, Moss Side and Stretford Foodhall.
Since its launch in September 2020, Sndwch has grown phenomenally, turning over £125,000 in its first year, £500,000 in its second, and is now on track to reach £1million turnover this financial year.
Expanding beyond its ongoing wholesale operation supplying some of the North West’s best known venues and eateries, it opened its second standalone site in MediaCity in November 2022.
