The man behind an explosion of animal product-free businesses on a Parkdale block dubbed “Vegandale” attributes the growing number of stores to a growing demand for vegan products. “There is a huge demand in Toronto” for vegan products, De Paul told the Star. Hellenic Vincent de Paul, the business owner behind the Vegandale neighbourhood, poses in front of Doomie's and Mythology restaurants. Mythology is part of "Vegandale," a neighbourhood of vegan restaurants and stores in Parkdale. “And I think generally that’s because there’s this huge movement now where more and more people are going vegan every day.” But De Paul’s growing number of vegan businesses are focused on ethical reasons for going vegan.
