Here’s how to get your Robeks juice bar up and running, step by step.
1. Research Your Local Market
Better-for-you living isn’t just a fad. From fitness buffs to busy professionals, today’s consumers are prioritizing better nutrition — and juice bars have become a go-to destination. As a Robeks franchise partner, you’re joining a brand that’s been leading this movement for nearly 30 years.
As you begin your journey, it’s important to take an active role in researching available markets. Neighborhoods that serve the community and local businesses through daily needs retail centers like grocery stores are central to our site selection approach. Shopping centers near gyms, yoga studios, or universities can also increase foot traffic to your location. Check out competitors in your area and research local demographics to determine where your juice business is most likely to thrive.
Our dedicated franchise support team will also provide guidance throughout the site selection process. We’ll help you evaluate market data so you can find the best possible location for your juice bar franchise.
2. Get the Right Equipment (Without the Guesswork)
Each Robeks location is designed to operate within a small footprint between 800-1,200 square feet, but you’ll still need to outfit your juice bar with some specialized equipment. From commercial blenders and juicers to refrigeration units and prep stations, our franchise support team will provide you with a detailed
equipment list and help connect you with trusted vendors.
As a franchisee, you’ll also receive a custom floor plan designed specifically for your juice bar location. From day one, your store will be outfitted to meet brand standards and operate efficiently, saving you time and potential missteps.
