Established Juice Bar & Vegan Cafe - Northwest Chicago Suburbs
Business Description
Established juice bar and vegan cafe located in the Northwest Suburbs of Chicago. Operating for 13 years with $808,680 in annual revenue and a 64.7% gross margin — well above the food service industry average.
The business offers cold-pressed juices, smoothies, multi-day cleanses, poke bowls, vegan desserts, and retail products. No single product category exceeds 35% of revenue, making this a well-diversified operation.
Included in the sale is a proprietary recipe library developed over 13 years — cold-pressed juice formulations, three cleanse protocols, dessert recipes, and dip recipes — none of which are publicly available. All intellectual property transfers at close.
A fully operational Shopify store with 21,840 annual visitors and an active social media presence (Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest) provide a digital foundation with significant untapped upside.
Seven identified growth opportunities can increase Seller's Discretionary Earnings from $135,000 to over $195,000 within 90 days — none requiring capital investment beyond $1,000.
Over $67,100 in equipment, fixtures, and inventory included. Seller will provide two weeks of transition training to ensure a smooth handover.
Full details available under NDA. Qualified buyers only.

About the Business
- Years in Operation
- 14
- Facilities & Assets
- Founded in 2012, this juice bar and vegan cafe has been serving the Northwest Suburbs of Chicago for 13 years. What began as a neighborhood juice bar grew into a full-service plant-based wellness cafe with a loyal, repeat customer base and a diversified menu of cold-pressed juices, smoothies, cleanse programs, poke bowls, vegan desserts, and retail products.
Every product on the menu was developed in-house over 13 years, resulting in a proprietary recipe library that transfers in full with the sale.
The business navigated two economic downturns and the COVID-19 pandemic, demonstrating the resilience of both the concept and its customer base. Today it generates $808,680 in annual revenue with a 64.7% gross margin and $135,000 in Seller's Discretionary Earnings.
- Market Outlook / Competition
- The Northwest Suburbs of Chicago represent an ideal market for a plant-based wellness cafe. The area's affluent, health-conscious demographic consistently demonstrates above-average spending on premium food, wellness products, and preventive health — exactly the customer profile that drives juice bar and cleanse economics. While national juice chains operate in the broader Chicago market, this business has spent 13 years building something a national chain cannot replicate overnight — deep community trust, a loyal repeat customer base, and a proprietary product offering developed specifically for this market. As the only dedicated vegan cafe in its immediate area, the business holds a differentiated position that is reinforced by 13 years of brand equity, an established social media presence, and a recipe library that no local or national competitor can duplicate.
- Opportunities for Growth
- The business comes with several clearly identified, low-cost growth opportunities ready for a new owner to execute. Improving the Shopify conversion rate, launching a structured cleanse subscription program, streamlining the menu, and pursuing local wellness brand collaborations are all actionable within the first 90 days. The proprietary recipe library also provides a documented foundation for franchise expansion or regional licensing into comparable suburban markets. Combined, these opportunities project an increase in Seller's Discretionary Earnings from $135,000 to over $195,000.
