Juice Dudez, an Ottawa-based brand known for fresh fruit drinks and high-quality chocolate desserts, is getting ready to open a new location in Ottawa.
The new Ottawa location will expand the company’s presence in the city, joining four existing stores, two of which are corporate-owned and two franchised, according to Retail Insider. The company also plans to open its first Toronto location later this year as part of its broader expansion strategy. While specific opening dates have not been confirmed, the stores are both expected to open in 2026. Customers can expect Juice Dudez’s signature smoothies, juices, teas, coffees, and house-made chocolate sweets at the new site.
Founded in 2019 by CEO Nasr Nasr, Juice Dudez uses real fruit to deliver drinks that are both flavorful and healthy. Nasr’s family has a fruit farming history in Lebanon dating back to the 1800s, and the company emphasizes those values of quality, hard work, and community in every location. Juice Dudez has steadily grown in Ottawa, with stores in Westboro, Heron Road, ByWard Market, and upcoming sites in Barrhaven, Orléans, and Kanata, previously reported by WhatNow Montreal.
The Ottawa expansion continues Juice Dudez’s measured growth approach, which prioritizes owner-operators over passive investors. Franchise partners are selected based on character, work ethic, and alignment with the brand’s mission. The focus remains on sustainable growth, high-quality products, and strong customer experience rather than rapid expansion.
Juice Dudez’s menu features a variety of smoothies, cold-pressed juices, teas, coffees, and chocolate desserts made from carefully sourced ingredients. Signature offerings combine taste and wellness, appealing to millennials and Gen Z customers who enjoy trying new drinks and sweet treats. The Ottawa location will maintain these offerings while reflecting the brand’s community-focused approach.
