For years, people came to their local juice shops for fresh fruit juices, milkshakes, and cool drinks. But now, many of those customers are moving to online delivery apps that offer packaged juices or tie-ups with big brands.
This is creating problems for small juice shop owners:
- Walk-in customers are dropping as people order online instead of visiting
- Apps promote branded packaged juices over fresh juice sellers
- Young customers are tempted by convenience and discounts
- And if you try selling on those platforms, 30–35% commission and convenience fees eat away your profit
The truth? Fruit juice demand is growing, but your earnings are shrinking.
Why Are You Losing Out?
- No Digital Presence – When people search “juice shop near me,” your name doesn’t show up.
- Only Walk-in Sales – Apps take orders all day, while you depend on foot traffic.
- High Commissions on Apps – A big part of your sales goes to middlemen.
- No Direct Customer Connection – Apps keep the data, not you.
