US-based organic juice bar franchise Clean Juice achieves 75th store milestone

Charlotte-headquartered Clean Juice has launched its 75th store in just three years of franchising. It is the first and only USDA-certified organic juice bar franchise.

Located in Lake Charles, Louisiana, the new “store of the future” will be the franchise’s first ever stand-alone building with a full drive-thru and digital in-store experience. This is also Clean Juice’s first store to feature all of their new digital technologies, including indoor and outdoor digital menu boards and self-ordering kiosks.

The new store is owned and operated by franchisee partners Gerard Mack and Doug Gehrig. They both had previously owned and operated eight high-performing McDonald’s restaurant locations in the same area.

Landon Eckles, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Clean Juice, said, “This is a monumental achievement for our Clean Juice family. As we celebrate our company’s fourth anniversary and our 75th location, we are even more thrilled to celebrate Clean Juice’s first free-standing location, equipped with a full drive-thru and digital experience to offer even more ease and convenience to our guests. We couldn’t have found better partners than Mack and Doug to be at its helm.”

Gerard Mack added, “We’re excited to introduce the Clean Juice we know and love to the Lake Charles community and offer guests new healthy and delicious quick meal options. As locals, Doug and I will be fully involved in the day-to-day operations, making sure that together with our team members we provide excellent customer service and create a warm and welcoming atmosphere for all guests, following the Clean Juice pillars of Smile, Speed and Service.”
