Juice Bar Coming to Va-Hi

Staff Report

Kale yeah! Owners of the Toco Hills location of Juice Bar, the popular juice, smoothie and healthy food café, will soon open a new location in Atlanta’s eclectic Virginia-Highland neighborhood. Local residents will “hail to the kale” and other nutritious options with the eatery’s selection of fresh juices, smoothies, salads and snacks. This location marks the newest offshoot of I Love Juice Bar, the highly-successful brainchild of John and Vui Hunt who started the company in 2013 with a mission to provide nutritious, convenient food and juice options to their community.

Juice Bar is gearing up to welcome the Virginia-Highland community to the “bar” in September at 1402 North Highland Avenue. All of Juice Bar’s juices, smoothies and snacks are made on-site daily. Juice Bar is no half-baked juicery—in fact, most of its products are made with raw ingredients, in addition to being vegetarian and gluten-free. Forsaking added sugars, pre-mixed syrups, additives and other base ingredients, Juice Bar uses fresh fruits and vegetables delivered daily and organic, locally-grown produce whenever possible. Customers can choose from the assorted menu of juices and smoothies or customize their own blends!

“At Juice Bar, we strive to make our products simple, approachable and, most importantly, a delicious way to fuel your mind and body for ultimate health,” said Susie Kelly, partner of the Toco Hills and Virginia-Highland locations. “Whether you’re just starting on the road to wellness or looking to supplement an active lifestyle, we want you to be healthy and feel great. Virginia-Highland has a craving for a bar like ours, and the community is in for a treat once we open our doors in September!”

Exclusive to Juice Bar, the eatery also serves one-ounce Essential Oils Shots, in addition to its smoothie and juice offerings. Distilled from the leaves, roots, flowers and other parts of plants, these powerful oils aid digestion, speed illness recovery, increase energy and provide allergy relief, among many other benefits. Juice Bar also specializes in Power Shots of wheatgrass, ginger and cayenne as well as various blends of these. For those looking to take charge of their health in a major way, one-day Juice Cleanses are available to detoxify, boost the immune system and increase energy.

Juice-lovers on-the-go can take advantage of the I Love Juice Bar app (available for iOS and Android) for added convenience. Customers can also pick up one of four most-loved juices from the grab-and-go case. Juice Bar Virginia-Highland will offer free Wi-Fi to its juice lovers and feature an outdoor patio, perfect for casual sipping and socializing. The Virginia-Highland shop will also carry wellness products from local purveyors including Georgia Grinders, Golda Kombucha, Mountain Organics, Popstar Popsicles, Queen of Kale and Vonnie’s Wheatgrass.
