Juice It Up!, one of the nation’s leading raw juice bar and hand-crafted smoothie franchises, has opened its Valencia, California, location. Located in the Valencia Town Center, with nearby theaters, shopping, and gym access, this is the first location operating under the ownership of franchisees and Valencia residents, Mike and Marvat Lahham.

“We’re beyond thrilled to bring the unique Juice It Up! experience, along with our refreshing fresh-squeezed raw juices and real fruit smoothies, to the Valencia community,” Lahham says. “We understand that health is important to our guests, and it’s our commitment to offer delicious products that fuel their active lifestyles and leave them feeling energized.”

All Juice It Up! products are designed and created to not only be delicious, but also meet the nutritional wants and needs of guests at every level of health. Menu items include fresh-squeezed functional raw juices, blended-to-order real fruit and veggie smoothies, and nutrient-rich bowls loaded with superfruits açaí and pitaya. With the recently introduced Smoothie Bowls, guests can transform their favorite Classic and Veggie Smoothie into a nourishing meal replacement, topped with fresh bananas, granola and a drizzle of honey. To supercharge any bowl or smoothie, Juice It Up! offers a “Make it Green” option by blending in raw kale and spinach to add an extra dose of fiber, vitamins, and minerals.

“It’s exciting to continue our expansion throughout Southern California with enthusiastic new franchise partners like the Lahhams,” said Carol DeNembo, vice president of business development for Juice It Up! “We’re proud to partner with passionate franchisees who are wholeheartedly committed to our mission to serve as an advocate for our guest’s health while providing them with craveable ‘food as fuel’ options.”
