Owner Matt Shook first realized his love of juice in 2001 after enjoying a beverage from Juice Joint on Barton Springs. Since then, he’s dedicated his life to juice, working first at Juice Joint, co-founding Daily Juice next, and finally, founding JuiceLand in 2011.
Recently, JuiceLand opened its 17th store located at 183 & Anderson Mill Road. To celebrate, we compiled a list of 17 facts you might not know about your favorite juice spot in town.
1.) JuiceLand is growing (again)

We might be celebrating the grand opening of JuiceLand’s 17th location, but the brand is already working on a few new spots for 2017. JuiceLand is branching out to Georgetown this spring, and will be expanding to San Marcos, Dallas, and Houston later this year.

3.) It’s a team effort

Whether the JuiceLand family is helping at a music festival, organizing a pop-up, or contributing to the extensive menu that features juices, smoothies, hot drinks, shots, and vegan food options, Lexie Shook, JuiceLand’s Marketing Specialist and Juice Fairy, says staff members contribute to every aspect of the brand. They even help with making new recipes and naming each drink or meal once it’s perfected.
And because they’re always sampling and testing new ideas, JuiceLand staff members are always coming up with concoctions of their own. Shook says “they’re known to get creative with add-ins.”

7.) Bananas are a popular ingredient

If you thought three tons of compost was a lot, think again. Combined, the stores peel—by hand—around two tons of bananas per day. That’s a lot of bananas, and that’s a lot of peeling.

10.) Food favorites change

Unlike The Originator, food option favorites are constantly changing. Best sellers used to be the Mid East Feast and the Double Rainbow Quinoa Salad. However, Shook says the current fan favorite is the Frijole Roller Burrito, an organic flour tortilla chock-full of ingredients like spinach, mushrooms, sun dried tomatoes, a black bean spread, and vegan sour cream (just to name a few). We’re curious to see which grab-n-go item takes the top spot next.

Just take a look at JuiceLand’s Instagram—whether they’re serving juice at ACL or chatting with customers, the JuiceLand family knows how to enjoy life. And if you need any more convincing, the company party was held at Barton Springs Pool, a daylong celebration where the entire staff was invited to spend the day floating in fruit shaped floats.
