Juice Franchises

Many juice concepts lead their business models with a focus on healthy eating and healthy food. Some emphasize clean ingredients. These are often defined as food that is as close to nature as possible, meaning no pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, genetic modification, and so on. Others offer raw juice, while others lean more toward the fitness side with healthy meal replacements and supplements. Not every brand follows this trend, however. While a menu based on fruit juice is by definition healthier than the average fast food fare, some brands incorporate frozen yogurt or coffee drinks and place less emphasis on the health benefits of their products.

Simple Models Mean Lower Costs

Compared to the typical restaurant, a juice franchise is on the low end in terms of cost. Franchise fees and royalties are generally comparable to most restaurants, but the equipment and build-out requirements are much less demanding. Nothing is being cooked, which wipes out a whole category of kitchen equipment. You?re really just talking blenders, juice presses if juice is produced in-house, and yogurt machines if the concept includes frozen yogurt, plus coolers. Beverages like this are a take-and-go product, so square footage requirements are modest. Some juice bar franchises even have a kiosk format, which is about as minimal as you can get. The juice concept is very popular right now, so there are plenty of options available, but as with all trends, eventually there will be a shakeout. Choose a brand that is established enough to have a track record and a reasonable number of existing stores, and make sure that your preferred brand?s differentiator is strong enough to keep it distinct among its competitors. Healthy eating isn?t going anywhere, and neither are juice franchises. Franchise Clique can help you narrow down the variety of options to focus on the right one for you!
