ICYMI: Cindysnacks Vegan Market Launches In Huntington

HUNTINGTON, NY — Cindysnacks, which provides vegan goods in a market setting, opened in Huntington on Aug. 17 with hopes of serving the entire Long Island north shore.

John Stengel, 32, and his girlfriend, Indiana "Cindy" Kay, 29, both vegans, are 50-50 store partners who came up with the idea together. Once the space at 210 Wall St. became available, the couple pounced on it. It's a store by vegans, for vegans, though anybody willing to try the food is welcome.

"We thought we could give back to the community by giving people a place where they could shop and not be judged for what they're consuming or buying," Stengel told Patch. "It's a very judgment-free zone in here. We wanted to give vegans a place where they could shop and not have to check labels, knowing everything is vegan, and have a fun experience knowing they're in a safe place."
