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

By Paul West


The seriousness of being staying fit and living a healthy Los Angeles, CA lifestyle really gained momentum and popularity with large numbers of people back in the nineteen nineties. Spas, gyms, and specialty bars, offering a variety of natural drinks and snacks, came along with it. If you are someone who is interested in natural foods and likes to come up with creative concoctions others seem to enjoy, you might consider opening an organic juice bar Los Angeles fitness lovers will support.

Before you start one of these businesses, you should research the companies that you will be competing with. There will be plenty of information about the chains and franchises that are so popular. You can probably get some idea of how they started and what they did to market themselves. You should also check out the local health bars to see what they serve and what their specials are.

A business will not succeed without a plan, and yours is no exception. Your business plan needs to include all the expenses you can think of that you will incur in the first three to five years. You will probably have monthly rent, advertising, marketing and promotion, equipment purchases, and employees. You should estimate how long it will take you to see a profit and be able to pay yourself.

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.

When you were formulating your plan, you probably checked out possible locations for your enterprise. You know that the mall is great, but expensive. Free standing storefronts in high traffic areas might be hard to find, and they will be expensive as well. You could consider setting up shop in a local gym or health food store, if there is space available and interest from the owner.

You will have to make some decisions about the type of drinks you are going to offer your clientele before you are able to purchase equipment. You should probably start out slow and add items as you see the need and interest. You will also need to establish a relationship with local produce farmers or order your merchandise from a distributor.

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.

Starting a business is hard and a lot of them fail. If you plan carefully, start slow, and stay smart about your marketing strategies you have a good chance of making it.
