Usually, the startup costs for a new juice and smoothie bar range anywhere from $100,000-$250,000 depending on the location and equipment purchased. The gross margins from sales of food and beverages is also extremely high. For due sales, gross margins are generally in the 80 to 85% range all food products usually carry a gross margin of 75%.

Most financial institutions are generally willing to provide small business loans to these companies given that they are retail businesses that can very quickly reach profitability. If an entrepreneur is looking to raise capital to start a juice bar, then a full business plan needs to be developed. This business plan should include a three-year profit and loss statement, cash analysis, balance sheet, breakeven analysis, and business ratios page so that a potential funding source can understand whether or not the juice bar will be able to meet its underlying monthly debt service as well as other financial obligations. Within the business plan, a full market analysis showcasing the population density, median household income, competitors, and other issues pertaining to the local market should also be thoroughly examined and discussed.

Beyond the marketing plan ASWOT analysis should also be developed. This will allow the entrepreneur to determine whether or not there juice bar will be economically viable within a specific market.

During times of economic recession, a juice bar will usually see a decline in their revenues given that people are going to spend less money on discretionary purchases. For opportunities, a owner of one of these businesses usually looks to establish additional locations in order to boost their revenues. Additionally, many owners will look to develop ongoing purchase order relationships with hotels, restaurants, as well as other hospitality businesses and place orders with the business on an ongoing basis. For threats, outside of any economic issue – there are really no threats that impact the way that a juice and smoothie bar will conduct its business operations.
