Last summer, Craft Juice Bar made a splash in Centerpointe at Deer Valley with its build-your-own smoothies, juices, and bowls, all made from freshly-squeezed juice. And co-owner Andrea Luna Rodriguez, who runs the business with her family, is already preparing to expand.
Craft Juice Bar’s second location will be at 4810 East Ray Road, in the Foothills Park Place Shopping Center, a place Andrea spent a lot of time as a kid. “It’s really exciting to open a business in the area where you grew up,” says Luna Rodriguez, whose family also owns a few Filibertos Mexican Food locations in the area, one of which neighbors Craft’s first juice bar. “There aren’t any juice bars in that shopping center yet, and I think it could use one.”
She has a point. Mountainside Fitness, Burn Bootcamp, and TITLE Boxing Club are all in the same shopping center, and what’s better than a freshly squeezed juice post-workout?
The new Craft Juice Bar, boasting slightly more space than the original, will have a cafe feel, with comfortable seating for customers to relax on as they sip their personally-concocted drinks.
Rodriguez plans to open by the end of the summer, exactly one year after she opened the original. Check out their Instagram for updates.
