Project LeanNation Opens Second Columbus-Area Shop Near Powell
The prepared-meal and coaching brand adds a Dublin-Powell storefront at 10726 Sawmill Parkway after launching earlier at Polaris Parkway.
Busy Central Ohio kitchens just got another grab-and-go option north of 270.
Project LeanNation has expanded to a second Columbus-area location at 10726 Sawmill Parkway, Suite 103, serving the Dublin-Powell corridor. The shop ran a soft opening from August 24 through September 6, 2026, according to franchise owner Brock Meadows, and joins the brand's existing Polaris storefront at 2117 Polaris Parkway.
Columbus Business First flagged the growth on September 17, framing LeanNation as a prepared-meal and nutrition coaching business stretching its local footprint. The same partners are also tied to a Hilliard buildout still in the works.

Meals, shakes, and coaching under one roof
LeanNation sells chef-prepped meals meant to reheat fast, plus protein shakes and supplements. The pitch is consistency for people who do not want another drive-thru lunch: high-protein plates, gluten-free production claims, and coaches who help members set goals and track body composition with InBody scans.
You do not need a membership to walk in for grab-and-go food. Membership packages add meal planning, check-ins, and member pricing for people who want the full system rather than a one-off dinner.
Why Powell matters
Polaris already pulls gym traffic and parkway commuters. Sawmill Parkway puts a second cooler closer to Dublin, Powell, and the northwest suburbs that otherwise face a longer drive for the same model. Soft opening invites asked neighbors to sample food and shakes before the location settled into regular hours.
If you have been hunting for ready meals without the freezer aisle mystery, the new address is live on Sawmill. Polaris remains open as well, and Hilliard is the next name to watch as the franchise group keeps expanding.
