Clean Juice Founders Landon and Kat Eckles launched the first location in 2014. April 29, 2021 Clean Juice, a USDA-certified organic juice bar franchise founded in 2014 in Charlotte, reported this week that sales were up for the first quarter of 2021. Fueled by a strong fourth quarter in 2020, which included the introduction of organic cleanses and soups as well as an elderberry acai bowl, same-store sales increased 7% in Q1 this year, CEO Landon Eckles said in a company press release. "We are extremely proud of our continued growth, which we view as a true testament to how well our premium organic and healthy products integrate into our guests' changing tastes and preferences," he said. "Our guests continue to demand access to truly healthy and delicious food and beverage products are served with smiles and speed."
