The pop-up store will also serve the Impossible Burger, available in single or double formats, the Impossible Chicago Style Hot Dog, Impossible Bratwurst, and the Impossible Chicken Nuggets with Fries, accompanied by Oatly soft serve icecream.

Customers will be able to buy Impossible Foods’ popular retail products such as Impossible Beef, Impossible Hot Dogs and Impossible Chicken Nuggets at the PlantX Bodega within the food hall.

Impossible Foods president and CEO Peter McGuinness said: “Impossible began as a foodservice brand, launching our flagship beef product in 2016 with some of the best restaurants in America.

“It’s been a natural evolution for us to create our own branded dining experience to showcase our delicious food. With Impossible Quality Meats, we wanted to offer diners a fun way to experience our food.

“From breakfast to lunch to dinner, we leaned into classic, craveable dishes people love – like nachos, smash burgers and chili cheese dogs. Choosing meat from plants shouldn’t feel like a compromise. It’s great-tasting food, plain and simple.”
