PowerSoul Cafe, a gluten-free fast food restaurant chain, will open its flagship store next summer in Las Vegas at West Warm Springs and Cimarron Road at Tarkanian Plaza. Six locations will open by the end of 2022, according to a company press release.

The flagship will serve as the main kitchen hub for all future local sites, and each location will operate 24 hours with self-serve smart food lockers and walk-up windows. Many sites will also have a drive-thru window. Ranging from 500 to 1,250 square feet, possible venues include casinos, sporting arenas and airports, said PowerSoul Cafe founder Dina Mitchell.

"Fast and convenient is now healthy! I loved building Tropical Smoothie Café along the west coast, but I am IN love with this concept," said Mitchell, a longtime Nevada-based entrepreneur, who helped to popularize Tropical Smoothie Cafe from 2000 to 2014. "With so many people constantly on the go, we will make it easy for anyone to grab healthy options 24-hours a day. Our flagship store is in a part of town that's growing quickly and we're securing other areas of the valley for future sites."

Mitchell, who anticipates a minimum of 159 stores and thousands of jobs nationwide over the next decade, said that although each menu item was 100% gluten-free, she has options for meat-lovers and vegans along with choices for those following dairy-free or keto diets.

"I didn't want to simply check healthy boxes, I wanted to develop healthy food that everyone will enjoy (the gluten-free pizzas will be a hit even with the pickiest kids!), we're planning for the menu to be appealing to those looking for healthy and easy to get food, or even for anyone that may have certain dietary restrictions," she said. "Wide variety, tasty, healthy and served 24 hours — what's not to love?"
