Cold-pressed juices, smoothies, healthy salads, and guilt-free treats at your fingertips on Mercer Island? Yes, please!
Jujubeet, a locally owned artisan juice bar with locations in Seattle, Bellevue, and Redmond, has just announced it will open a grab-n-go kiosk within the 212 Health and Fitness center in downtown Mercer Island.
Jujubeet co-founder and Mercer Island resident Mala Raman said she is excited to team up with Jason Kaliloa, owner of the recently opened 212 Health & Fitness, to bring a kiosk to Mercer Island.
“We heard that Jason was looking to open a juice bar, and we got in touch with him,” Raman said. “We have great synergy.”
She also said that current customers of Jujubeet’s Bellevue store encouraged her and co-founder Bianca Szyperski to open the Mercer Island location.
“We’ve been open in Bellevue for nearly two years, and we get a lot of customers from Mercer Island who keep saying, ‘we don’t want to have to cross the bridge’ and who would like a more convenient location,” Raman said. “Mercer Island is growing, so hopefully we’ll get traction.”
Opening Party this Friday
Community members are invited to an opening party this Friday, October 9th, from 8:30 to 11:30 am. Jujubeet will serve complimentary smoothies, juices, and energy balls to celebrate their Mercer Island opening and give your morning a healthy start.
The kiosk will carry all of Jujubeet’s cold pressed juices, smoothies, salads, and healthy desserts uniquely crafted by an in-house dietitian and delivered fresh daily. Pre-ordered juice cleanses will also be available from the kiosk.
