In early July, Refuel Juicery opened its eighth location, a 520 square foot inline unit on the second level at Upper Canada Mall in Newmarket. Refuel Juicery is a new wellness-focused beverage that was introduced in 2015 by Talal Samadi, founder of the Toronto-based Freshly Squeezed fresh beverage chain. The quick service specialty concept features a selection of cold-pressed juices, smoothies, protein shakes and other nutritious grab-and-go offerings, targeting a more mature customer that seeks organic and fresh food. In addition to its signature drinks, the concept offers juice cleanse programs and wholesome snacks, appealing to health-conscious consumers seeking convenient nutrition. Refuel Juicery is also expanding through franchising as demand for premium wellness-oriented foodservice concepts continues to grow and Rene Ragazzi at EXP Commercial has been retained to handle the chain’s site selection across Canada. With its present locations in Ontario and mostly in the GTA, the chain is targeting high profile 450 to 650 square foot locations in high traffic enclosed malls.
