History[]
Tossed founder Vincent Mckevitt opened his first branch in Sheldon Square in Paddington, London in 2005.[3]
In March 2016, Tossed announced that they would become the first UK chain not to accept cash.[4][5]
In March 2018, Tossed announced they had bought the Vital ingredient chain.[6]
In July 2020, during the first lockdown for COVID19 in central London, Zest Food, the company trading as both Tossed and Vital Ingredient, filed a notice of intention to appoint administrators. Prior to the pandemic, it had been trading from 20 stores across the two brands. [7]
In September 2020, it was announced that the Tossed brand and six of its stores had been acquired by Neil Sebba and Angelina Harrisson. [8]
