Juiced!, the juice bar currently located at 1749 N. Farwell Ave., has been selling fresh cold-pressed juices to consumers since 2012 – first via a mobile food truck and then at its current storefront starting in 2013.
But according to owner Jason Lannoch, the company is currently in the process of a build-out for a new location at 644 S. 5th St., in the warehouse which will also house a new second location for Fuel Cafe.
Lannoch, who is forecasting a June 1 opening for the new production facility and retail space, says that the new location will have a very similar set-up to the one on Farwell, including a retail storefront.
"There will be a window where customers can view the production area," he says. "And we’ll have a nice enclosed outdoor patio space, which we’ll share with Fuel, our neighbors next door."
Lannoch says that Juiced! will also continue to offer free delivery to customers Downtown.
Lannoch says that the project will allow the business to increase its growing wholesale business, while providing a larger retail space for consumers.
"Up until now, we’ve been making a small space work for us," says Lannoch. "But now we’re building out a new space from scratch, which allows us to put an infrastructure in place that really works for us."
The new space will include new equipment, including an automatic filler and produce washer, Lannoch notes, making the juicing process more seamless.
Lannoch is working with Kelly Construction and Design as well as The Kubala Washatko Architects, Inc. for the space design and buildout.
Once open, Juiced! plans to operate Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
