Commercial Interests
On 4 July 2009, Mills opened a vegan restaurant called VBites at Hove Lagoon, Hove, Sussex, on the site of the old Big Fish Cafe, which she is reported to have purchased for £140,000. Mills is quoted as saying that she intends it to be the first in a worldwide chain of vegan restaurants. Whilst promoting the restaurant, Mills gave an interview to the BBC, stating that she'd been very proactive in the building stages and now that it was open, would give as much time to it as she could – working it around her charity work.
Mills bought the vegan food company Redwood Foods in 2009. The company, which is located in Corby, Northants, sells 50 meat-free products, under the brand names Cheatin', VegiDeli and Cheezly.

Famous quotes containing the words commercial and/or interests:
“The cultivation of one set of faculties tends to the disuse of others. The loss of one faculty sharpens others; the blind are sensitive in touch. Has not the extreme cultivation of the commercial faculty permitted others as essential to national life, to be blighted by disease?”
—J. Ellen Foster (1840–1910)
“The history of mankind interests us only as it exhibits a steady gain of truth and right, in the incessant conflict which it records between the material and the moral nature.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
