Starting a Juice Business

Start a juice business and make a healthy profit

Opening a juice business gives you great potential for profits, as people become more health conscious. This natural, healthy, whole-food beverage has huge appeal for people that are leery of foods filled with unhealthy and unnatural additives and preservatives.

Most successful juice businesses offer a wide variety of the freshest fruit and vegetable juices to their customers. Some sell juice purchased from a vegetable juice manufacturer or fruit juice manufacturer and some squeeze fruits and vegetables on-site with commercial juicers. Many successful juice businesses do both.

In addition, they offer an assortment of vitamin and herbal supplements that are mixed in with juices at the customer's request. These supplements give added health benefits to the already healthy juices.

Enter into the juicing business and consider several options. Open an independently owned business for juices or buy into a franchise for juices. Purchasing a franchise requires a greater investment, but enables you to learn the juice business from the ground up. Whichever you choose, keep the following things in mind:

1. Choose the juice business that is right for you.

2. Offer a wide variety of healthy fruit and vegetable juices to your customers.

3. Acquire the best juicing equipment available.

 

Find the juice business that suits your needs

Buy into a franchise if you are inexperienced in the juice business and want to learn and gain experience as you grow your business, or run an independently owned operation if you already know the industry.
Try: Locate a franchise to purchase at Franchise Gator and Franchise Opportunities LLC. Find an independently owned juice business to purchase at Business Nation and Restaurants for Sale.us.

Stock your juice business with the products your customers want

Include a wide variety of fruit and vegetable juices as well as fresh fruits and vegetables you can juice on site. Fill your coolers with fresh produce such as apples, oranges, grapefruits, bananas, carrots, celery, spinach, wheat grass and an assortment of melons.
Try: Order juice from a distributor such as those represented by Dennick Fruit Source and find distributors of fresh produce at Hoover's Inc.

Make the fresh fruit and vegetable juice that your customers prefer

Find the proper equipment for your juice business. Commercial juicers are designed to produce numerous gallons of fresh juice each day. Buy the commercial juicing equipment that suits your shop's needs.

• Consider your customers when you choose the location for your juice business. Fresh juices are most popular with health conscious, young adults. Open your juice business near places they frequent, such as health clubs, gyms, universities, airports and hotels.
