Sunbelt of Northern Virginia and Ian Otto are proud to present an established, award-winning franchised juice bar in one of the most affluent suburban trade areas in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan region. This is a turnkey opportunity to acquire a fully built-out, fully equipped, and operating health-and-wellness concept — smoothies, acai and pitaya bowls, cold-pressed juices, and wellness shots — under a recognized national franchise brand.
The current owners built this business from the ground up: a brand-new professional build-out, all-new commercial equipment, an established multi-channel revenue base, and a trained part-time team. In under two years of operation, the store was named a "Best of 2026" Award Winner in the Juice Shop category (powered by Google Reviews) — independent validation of product quality and customer loyalty.
What makes this opportunity stand out is the foundation that is already in place. A new operator building a comparable franchised location from scratch would face an estimated investment approaching $650,000 and a 12–18 month timeline for site selection, build-out, permitting, and brand launch — all before opening day. Here, that work is done. A buyer steps into a finished, permitted, operating store with revenue, a loyal customer base, and momentum.
The business is growing. Revenue for the January–May period is up approximately 24% over the same period last year, and the most recent full month set a fresh monthly record. Gross margins run in the low-70s percent, providing strong operating leverage as revenue scales. Revenue flows through multiple channels that are already live and transfer with the business: walk-in retail, branded app and online ordering, major third-party delivery platforms, corporate catering, and fitness-studio partnerships.
Perhaps the most distinctive asset is community goodwill. The co-owner has personally cultivated a network of roughly eighteen active community partnerships and sponsorships across local youth sports leagues, schools, and area nonprofits — relationships that cannot be bought with an advertising budget and that convey with the sale. In a tight-knit, family-oriented town, this embedded presence is a powerful, hard-to-replicate competitive advantage.
This is an early-stage unit still in its ramp phase. The business is not yet profitable on a trailing basis, and the financials are presented candidly: the opportunity is built value plus growth, not trailing earnings. The ideal buyer is a hands-on, owner-operator who wants to step into a built, branded, community-embedded business and take it to the next level by activating a clear set of low-capital growth levers — loyalty and database marketing, structured community fundraising events, cleanse/subscription programs, outbound corporate catering, and capturing nearby foot and recreational traffic.
No prior food-service experience is required; the national franchisor provides full training, brand systems, and ongoing support. The franchise transfer is subject to franchisor approval and a modest transfer fee. The location operates under a long-term lease with extension options, providing site control for years to come.
