Collingswood’s Haddon Avenue has a genuinely distinctive new food option, as Quick Bitez has officially opened inside the prominent 900 Haddon Building, bringing a healthy, grab and go convenience store concept built entirely around clean, plant based eating. The shop is the creation of Chef William Atkins, known widely as Chef Will, who spent more than 15 years building a career as a private and corporate chef before deciding to reinvent the classic corner convenience store model from the ground up.
Atkins built Quick Bitez around a simple but genuinely ambitious premise, stripping out the highly processed junk food that typically defines a corner store and replacing it entirely with clean, health conscious alternatives designed to serve people with a genuinely wide range of dietary needs. That philosophy shows up clearly across the menu itself, which centers on calorie transparent, nutrient dense, plant based meals prepared fresh rather than mass produced and shipped in from elsewhere. Grab and go options include freshly made vegan wraps, protein bowls, parfaits, fresh fruit cups, and cold pressed juices, giving customers a genuinely varied selection of clean eating options they can simply pick up and go, without needing to wait for anything to be cooked to order.
The store’s distinctive 24 Hour Vegan branding comes directly from Atkins’s curated collection of ready made, packaged vegan meals and clean ingredient snacks, built specifically for people who want genuinely intentional, diet friendly food available whenever they need it, rather than being limited to whatever happens to be open or convenient at a given moment. Beyond the walk in retail side of the business, Quick Bitez also runs a structured weekly meal prep program for customers looking for a more consistent, ongoing eating plan. The Everyday Plan offers five prepared meals per week for customers looking for a baseline level of convenient, healthy eating, while the High Performance plan steps things up considerably with ten protein focused meals designed for customers with more demanding nutritional or fitness goals.
For anyone planning to stop by the physical storefront itself, Quick Bitez keeps a fairly traditional weekday retail schedule, open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., with the store closed entirely on Saturdays and Sundays. Customers looking for meals outside those walk in hours, or who simply prefer not to visit in person, can still place orders through online ordering, DoorDash, or Uber Eats, giving the business a genuinely flexible ordering structure that extends well beyond its physical open hours.
It’s worth understanding exactly what kind of dining experience Quick Bitez actually offers, since the concept differs meaningfully from a typical restaurant despite sharing a location inside a busy commercial building. Quick Bitez operates strictly as a grab and go convenience store rather than a traditional sit down restaurant, meaning customers walk in, select pre packaged meals directly from a cooler case, and pay at the counter, all without table service or a dedicated dining room. The best comparison is a high end, entirely vegan version of a Wawa or an airport convenience market, where everything on the shelf has been prepared fresh that same day by the chef himself, packaged, and stored in cold cases ready for immediate pickup. A customer looking for lunch can grab a chilled vegan wrap, a protein bowl, or a cold pressed juice straight off the shelf and be on their way within moments.
That format is deliberately built for speed and convenience, catering specifically to commuters and office workers based inside the 900 Haddon building and the surrounding area, who can grab their food and bring it back to their desk, home, or a nearby park rather than sitting down inside the store itself. For anyone looking for a genuinely quick, healthy lunch they can take with them, Quick Bitez offers an excellent option built specifically around that need. Diners hoping for a traditional sit down lunch experience complete with table service and a printed menu will want to look elsewhere among the other restaurants along Haddon Avenue, since that kind of leisurely dining simply isn’t what this particular concept was designed to deliver.
With its combination of chef prepared, calorie transparent food, a genuinely broad plant based menu, and the round the clock accessibility built into its own branding, Quick Bitez gives Collingswood a distinctive new option for anyone looking to eat cleanly without sacrificing the speed and convenience of a traditional corner store run.
