“The heart of who we are is serving organic fruits and vegetables.”
As the Clean Juice franchise continues its robust growth (now over 100+ open stores and another 40 in development!), we continue to get noticed by some of our industry’s most prestigious and important publications. Last month QSR Magazine featured our Co-Founder and Chief Branding Officer, Kat Eckles, who is the inspiration behind our beverage franchise and is the driving force in our growth. She took some time to talk about how Clean Juice came to be, where it’s going, and what’s important to us. She also shared a little bit about herself.
Her Devine Inspiration
Kat reflected on what may have influenced her decision to start the Clean Juice brand with her husband, Landon, and how she’s always been interested in running a business.
“It’s funny looking back,” said Kat. “The two jobs I had in high school were both small businesses and locally owned shops. That probably put something in me, but I didn’t even realize it at the time. I’ve always known that if I was going to work, it probably couldn’t be for someone else. Entrepreneurship’s always been something I loved.”
That goal — to be in business for yourself — and loving the idea of entrepreneurship combined are the driving forces for so many of our franchisees. What’s so great about joining forces with the Clean Juice franchise team is that you’ll be in business for yourself but not by yourself. That means you can count on our training and support and a proven business model to help pave the way toward your success. Our guidance and expertise will allow you more freedom to focus on serving your community, helping guests be “healthy in body and strong in spirit” and growing your business instead of sweating the details!
Meeting Important Nutritional Needs
Now more than ever, the Clean Juice healthy franchise is positioned to meet important nutritional needs for a growing number of communities across the country. Our wholesome and delicious USDA-certified organic menu of juices, smoothies, bowls, and more are smart choices for young and old alike, and the Clean Juice name has quickly become a leader in the QSR (quick service restaurant) space, as well as in the organic marketplace. We’re also a company that aims to do the right thing — sticking to core values that keep us focused on serving others.
“People are more interested in health,” commented Kat. “Because they slowed down and went into quarantine, they were exercising more and changing their diet. And health is way more than eating and physical fitness — a big part of it is mental and spiritual health. That’s why we want to help our guests be healthy in body and strong in spirit through organic food and beverages.”
Clean Juice has been part of many people’s recent decisions to adopt a healthier lifestyle, and we’re proud of that fact!
Our Industry
Today, the QSR landscape is a thriving one, and the organic industry is growing fast, showing no sign of slowing down. Clean Juice is uniquely positioned to leverage both in ways our competitors can’t match. Our supply chain relationships, in-house marketing team, and our strong brand following are just some of the advantages you’ll enjoy when you partner with Clean Juice to open your beautiful new Clean Juice store.
“For us, the heart of who we are is that we serve organic fruits and vegetables,” said Kat. It’s what has made the Clean Juice name and what will continue to drive both Kat, Landon, and everyone else at the Clean Juice Home Office to be the best they can be — and to be there for our franchisees!
