Healthy Foods Provider Embody To Open on Forest Street
|
A provider of on-the-go high-protein blends, organic juices, salads, granola, entrees and more is preparing to open this spring in the new retail-and-residential development on Forest Street. Embody was established eight years ago in Darien and owner Gillen Bryan said company officials have been “keeping our eye out for space in New Canaan for a while.”
“We are over-the-moon excited” about opening in Heritage Square on Forest Street, Bryan said. “We will have immediate brand recognition because we already have several people in New Canaan that know us from Equinox in Darien. We’ll bring the Embody experience with our menu that is really designed around fitness and health and performance. We’d like to be able to become a go-to destination for people who live a healthy and fit lifestyle or somebody who wants to make a healthy choice that day.”
Embody will split 33 parking spots at Heritage Square with a second retail provider on the street level, Bryan said, and the first four spots next to the store will be reserved for the healthy food provider’s customers.
