A fast-growing meal prep chain built on Long Island is setting up shop in Poughkeepsie, bringing chef-prepared meals, a smoothie bar, and on-site nutrition counseling to a storefront on South Road. Hummus Fit has not announced an exact opening date, but the company says the location is planned to open within the coming weeks.
Where The New Shop Is Headed
According to Hudson Valley Post, the new Hummus Fit will sit at 2521 South Road in Poughkeepsie, in a stretch of the city near Dave's Hot Chicken, Bonsai, and Sweet Frog. The outlet reports the Poughkeepsie store is expected to carry more than 80 meal options once it opens, giving Hudson Valley shoppers a far bigger menu than a typical grab-and-go counter.
Beyond prepared meals, the report notes the location will include a full smoothie bar, healthy snacks, and protein muffins the company calls Buffins, along with protein smoothies and coffee. The same report says the store will also offer nutrition counseling, with a registered dietitian on hand to work with customers.
From Long Island Startup To Multi-State Chain
Hummus Fit is described in the report as a fast-growing, chef-prepared meal prep company that got its start on Long Island, and per the same account it now has more than 20 locations spread across several states. Greater Long Island reporting adds further background on the company's roots, noting it was founded by Long Island fitness enthusiasts Tony and Liana Mavruk and launched in 2015.
The brand has also picked up local recognition back on Long Island, where Hudson Valley Post reports that Long Island Press readers voted Hummus Fit the best healthy eatery in both 2024 and 2025. The chain's menu leans into that health-focused identity, with protein-packed, gluten-free, vegan, and keto options, plus detailed macro information listed for each meal and snack, per the outlet's report.
Owners Say They Took A Chance Four Years Ago
Hummus Fit's owners said they decided four years ago to take a chance on the business, according to the Hudson Valley Post report, and they said they are excited to expand into the Hudson Valley. Company officials said their team is working to bring chef-prepared meals to the region, the outlet reports.
For a sense of how a Hummus Fit launch typically unfolds, the chain's Miller Place debut on Long Island offers a comparison. Greater Long Island reported that store held a soft opening on a Friday with a grand-opening celebration the next day, Saturday, March 14, complete with free samples, sponsor giveaways, and a Buffin-eating contest. That Miller Place shop marked the chain's 14th location overall at the time, giving Hummus Fit seven stores in Suffolk County and seven in Nassau County, according to the outlet.
No such celebration details have been announced yet for the Poughkeepsie store, and Hummus Fit has not said when the South Road location will formally open its doors.
