Xpressed Juice Company
Xpressed Juice Company was established to create a healthier alternative in the way we consume products sold in mass markets. When we add the label 100% juice…we mean it! We are committed to providing cold pressed juirces using high quality and locally farmed produce. Our products are fresh, tasty, and support local farmers. We want our customers to enjoy our juices without the high price tag attached to them. When a customer consumes our juice, they should feel that the value was worth every sip.
Not only do we make sure our products taste amazing, we also take pride in their visual appeal. As a flawless diamond would be measured on its cut – clarity – colour, our juice is measured on a similar scale, that being content – colour – consistency. This means we pay attention to the produce we put into our juices, making sure the fruits and vegetables are select, fresh and blended properly. The colour of our juices are rich and vibrant, which captures the eye of our customers. Finally we want to make sure each customer experience is the same if not better than last time.
Xpressed Juice Company not only provides products, we also provide a service. In order for us to deliver a great product and unparalleled service, it is imperative to manage risksk and reduce our costs. Therefore, we have teamed up with a local restaurant and fitness establishment to provide us with their facilities to prepare, bottle and distribute our products.
We at Xpressed view our products as more than just a beverage, but as a meal replacement, an energy boost, an alternative to caffeine, and more importantly a source of nutrients that our bodies need to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
