WHAT IS JUICE JAR?

Juice Jar is a vibrant, community-led lifestyle brand serving feel-good food and drinks in beautifully designed spaces across the UK and Ireland.

OUR JOURNEY

Juice Jar began with a simple idea: to make healthy choices feel exciting, accessible and full of personality. From our first Belfast venue in 2019, we have grown into a community-led lifestyle brand across our nine venues in the UK and Ireland.

We’ve grown up but we haven’t gone corporate. We’re still scrappy, still obsessed and still willing to break the rules to build something people actually want. Big ambitions, bold ideas and taking risks everyday to stay true to our roots.

our OPPORTUNITY

Eating habits are changing. While overall food spend has fallen, demand for healthier, more considered choices continues to grow. We increasingly care about what we put into our bodies, seeking fresh ingredients, nutritional value and food that makes us feel good.

WHAT makes us different?

Clean, healthy unprocessed food with little to no additives.

We've built trust.

Made fresh to order in front of the customer to build trust.

Watch, literally, what you eat.

Acai Bowl production unseen before at scale.

Trying the impossible.

We create spaces

Nine venues. Three franchisees. One growing community across the UK and Ireland.

We create beautiful, thoughtfully designed spaces with unmistakable Juice Jar energy.

More than a place to eat and drink, our venues bring people together. Every location is built to feel local, healthy, welcoming and full of life.
