Eden's Juice To Bring Healthy Food Options to New Downtown Lansing Shop

An independent, locally owned healthy food option is coming to Downtown Lansing's Washington Square: Eden's Juice. The healthy juice bar moved into the building that used to host the salad buffet restaurant, Fresh.

Tameko Richard, vice-president of Eden's Juice, says the building has a whole new interior for the juice bar. "[It was] totally done over," she says. "We re-did everything."

Richard describes Eden's Juice as a "meal in a cup," and is hoping the new business catches on in Lansing. Eden's Juice will sell yogurt, smoothies and raw juices. The business focuses on selling healthy foods in a fast-food environment Downtown, which makes it unique.

"We did a lot of [market] research, and no one is doing that [in Lansing]," she says.

When asked why Downtown Lansing was chosen for the location, Richard says, "Lansing is on the rise."

Like other small, start-up companies around Lansing, Eden's Juice is planning to be very involved with social media sites like Facebook and Twitter.

Richard says Eden's Juice's mission is "to serve our guest in a stylish, uplifting environment where the active, health-conscious guest can create their highest-quality smoothies, frozen yogurts, and raw juices in a clean, customer friendly atmosphere."

Eden's Juice will be opening soon.
