XO Juice and Studio is on a mission to help Houston get healthy. The juice bar and pilates studio is set to open at 3201 N. Shepherd Dr., Suite 109, in Greater Heights by the first week of December. A permit for the location was listed on the city portal.
What Now Houston spoke with XO Juice and Studio’s Yousef Elbarry, who was also listed on the permit, about the new opening. Elbarry shared that it’s a revitalization of another Houston brand, but didn’t share much more about the history of that brand. Elbarry is the CEO of Barry Design Studio and serves as the designer and general contractor for XO Juice and Studio.
“We’re very enthusiastic about juice, top-class juice. We have a variety of options that will be fresh and bottled,” Elbarry said.
Elbarry later shared that the owner of the establishment is Lesa Barnum. What Now Houston reached out and spoke with Barnum briefly, who confirmed the opening.
Elbarry shared that the variety of fresh juices will be made onsite. In addition, guests can enjoy açaí bowls, smoothies, coffee, and tea. XO Juice features a selection of seasonal, fresh juices crafted with enthusiasm, and a Pilates studio offering Mat and Reformer classes directed by a top-notch coaching team, all within a vibrant atmosphere that reflects growth and nature in a casual setting. The detailed menu is shared on the XO Juice and Studio website.
“We’re offering a relaxing, healthy addition to the community. We’re offering people a place to come and get healthy and reform, and grow,” Elbarry said.
“I think our place will be a significantly well-known place at some point.”
While there will be healthy food and drink options in the front, there will be a healthy living option in the back. A variety of pilates classes are planned to be offered at the new spot.
