Can you tell us a little bit about yourself and your business?
I was born and raised in Fort Worth. I grew up in the world of ballet and attended the Fort Worth School of Ballet and performed with the company. I graduated from Texas Wesleyan University with a BA in Theater. I moved to NYC and lived there 10 years pursing dance, theater and music. I love my business but my number one passion will always be music and dance. I will sing and dance for anyone at the drop of a hat, haha!
What made you start your shop?
When I was living in NYC I discovered juice bars. They had juice bars in health food stores…everywhere. After I had my first green drink I had so much energy I couldn’t believe it. So, I was hooked. I bought a juicer and juiced everyday. When I moved back to Fort Worth I wanted to open a juice bar. It took a few years but my dream finally came true and I opened my first location in November of 2013. It has evolved quite a bit with us introducing a lot more vegan food options. I consider Juice Junkies to be more of a Vegan Bistro than Juice Bar, now, because we have so many food options.
What do you like most about being apart a community of small shops in Fort Worth?
Well, I love my hometown of Fort Worth. To be a part of the small business community is very special to me. I have met so many wonderful people over the past 5 years. Everyone is so supportive and encouraging. Fort Worth is a great city and Fort Worthians really support local businesses. It means a lot to them, which means a lot to me. I feel extremely lucky to have a business in this wonderful town!
