Detroit Evolution Lab changes gears to expand and grow

Gregg Newsom and Angela Kasmala from the Detroit Evolution Laboratory are saying goodbye to one of it's most popular services - weekly vegan and raw food lunches - in order to put more energy into expanding their business.

The Lab, currently off Gratiot, near Eastern Market, will still offer yoga, meditation and vegan cooking classes, massage and meditation services, catering, sustainability training, as well as workshops on recycling, composting and debt consumption.

Excerpt:

The vision that Newsom alludes to is a three-tiered project that would include a full-service vegan restaurant on the ground floor, a second-floor yoga studio with additional space to holding workshops, and living quarters for the couple, along with a "sustainable lifestyle showcase" on the third floor.

Newsom and Kasmala met with angel investors about their plans and recently obtained seed money to finance a move and expansion. They are interested in three buildings, all in the 4,000-square-foot range, in the Eastern Market area. Their plan is to select one before the month is over.
