In early January, Booster Juice, the 26-year-old chain of quick service fresh juice and smoothie specialists with over 470 locations from coast to coast, opened its first drive-thru location. Franchise partner Ana Bezarevic opened the standalone 1400 square foot unit at the St Clair Shores Shopping Centre in Windsor’s Lakeshore community in southwestern Ontario. Designed for speed, quality, and convenience, the quick service unit features a double lane drive-thru with five digital screens with a full menu for customers to quickly order from the comfort of their vehicle. And like traditional Booster Juice locations, the unit also serves walk-in customers. “Our goal has always been to make healthy food more accessible,” said President, CEO, and Founder Dale Wishewan. “With this drive-thru location, we’re bringing our fresh, healthy products to our customers in a fast, convenient way, and with great customer service.” Rick Botelho, Booster Juice’s Director of Real Estate and Franchise Development added that while this initial drive-thru is a freestanding location, for future drive-thrus, the company is primarily seeking end caps in the 1100 to 1400 square foot range. Typically, the Booster Juice mall kiosk sites are in the 250 to 350 square foot range and in open projects in the 700 to 1200 square foot range. As it approaches the 500-store mark, the Booster Juice expansion is focused on Atlantic Canada, Quebec, Ontario and British Columbia’s Lower Mainland region. Botelho also notes at in the fourth quarter of 2025, Booster Juice opened new locations in Montreal in the downtown Montreal Eaton Centre and in the CF Fairview Pointe Claire in the West Island area. In addition, in Spring 2026, additional Montreal openings are scheduled for Montreal-Trudeau International Airport and at Galeries d’Anjou.
