“Cold-pressed juice is extremely popular, as it contains nutrients known to boost immunity and general health, but it’s not something that a lot of consumers feel comfortable making at home due to the cleanup, time, and expertise required to get the right taste,” said Penny White, CEO of Better Plant Sciences. “With consumer concerns around COVID-19, adding online order options gives consumers another way to drink their favorite juices while still remaining physically distant as they do not need to enter the store.”

In Victoria, the JUSU juices are now available for purchase in-store at JUSU Bar at Cadboro Bay, Whole Foods, Red Barn Markets, Root Cellar and Lifestyles Markets. In Calgary, JUSU juices can be ordered online for home delivery.

The following six cold-pressed JUSU juices are available as singles or as part of 1, 3 and 5-day cleanses:

  • Green Machine

  • Hawkeye

  • Emerald City

  • Blue Lagoon

  • Dirty Lemonade

  • Classic

A report by Technavio projected that the global cold-pressed juice market is poised to grow by USD $275.5 million during 2019-2023, progressing at a CAGR of almost 8% during the forecast period.

On August 19, 2020, Better Plant announced that it had entered into an agreement to acquire JUSU branded plant-based assets from JUSU Bar Inc., JUSU Life Inc. and JUSU Cbd Inc. The assets include all inventory, packaging, raw ingredients and intellectual property related to 300 plant-based products for the home, body and baby and the eCommerce sites where the products are sold, and customer lists as well as all intangible assets relating to the chain of juice bars which have operated in British Columbia and Alberta under the name JUSU. Better Plant took over operations for the eCommerce sites www.jusubody.com and www.jusulife.com on September 1, 2020. The acquisition of the transaction is expected to take place in the fall, once all due diligence is complete and all necessary approvals are obtained.
