How To Start An Organic Juice Bar Los Angeles Natives Will Love

By Paul West


Specialty bars, that only serve drinks made with natural ingredients and fresh fruits and vegetables began to appear in the last decade of the twentieth century. In Los Angeles, CA, as elsewhere, they are still big business and many individuals have made very lucrative careers out of owning and managing them. There are chains with franchise opportunities for those who are interested in a safe deal. You may be more interested in opening an independent organic juice bar Los Angeles fitness enthusiasts will support however.

You will have to check out the competition. It is not difficult to go online and research the big chains to see how they started out and what they did along the way to stay relevant and expand. You can also investigate the local health bars to see what is on their menus, what specials they have, and how they market to their clientele.

One of the first things you need to do is develop a comprehensive business plan. The more details you put into it, the better off you will be and the more likely it will be that you will find someone to invest in your idea. Your plan should include realistic estimates of yearly expenses such as rent, staff, equipment purchases, and advertising. It is better to be conservative and exceed everyone's expectations than the other way around.

Unless you are independently wealthy, you are going to need seed money to get started. Approaching family members and friends with an offer of part ownership in the company for an infusion of cash might be possible. It may be that you are more comfortable pitching your ideas to a lender who doesn't know you personally and is only interested in the bottom line however.

Hopefully you have already got some idea of where you want to locate your operation. Some lucky people have relatives with storefront businesses with room to set up a small natural drink section. If the local gym doesn't already offer health drinks, you might talk one of them into letting you set up your business in their lounge or lobby.

You've probably already been experimenting with concoctions that you want to offer the public, so you have some idea of the kind of equipment you will need to make them. You can purchase appliances or find them used online. You will need a produce distributor unless you can make deals with farmers in the area. Local produce should be your first choice. It is usually cheaper, tastier, safer, and a great public relations move.

You may be the only employee for awhile, and that is fine if you have the time. Be sure to budget plenty of money for advertising and marketing, but make as much use as possible of free promotions like social media.

Creating a successful business, especially one in a niche market, can be difficult. It can also be extremely rewarding and quite possibly lucrative.
