American juice bar concept Nékter Juice Bar is set to further expand its store network with a new outlet in Gilbert, Arizona.

Located at the Gilbert & Warner Town Center, 35 E Warner Road, the new venue opens its doors on 16 March 2024.

Spanning 1,100ft², the Gilbert Nékter will be under the ownership of franchisee Vanessa Aguirre.

Aguirre said: “Juices and smoothies have always been a part of my life growing up. I believe that making healthy choices can feel and taste amazing

“Coming from a background of family-owned Mexican restaurants that serve our community family recipes, I was excited to open and offer something I am passionate about and could serve anyone on their health journey. Nékter has made it easy and delicious to make daily healthy choices.”

The new venue's menu will feature a variety of juices, smoothies and açaí bowls, all of which can be tailored to meet individual customer tastes and dietary preferences.

Nékter uses only natural ingredients to ensure that its offerings are free from hidden fillers, unnecessary sugars, processed ingredients and artificial flavours.

The Gilbert location will also introduce superfood oats and vegan SKOOP ice cream to its menu.

Customers can place orders in-store, online or through delivery platforms such as DoorDash, Postmates and UberEats.

Since its inception in 2010 in Southern California, Nékter has expanded its footprint across the US and currently boasts 330 locations, with some already operational and others in development.

In February 2024, Nékter Juice Bar selected Qu as its preferred point-of-sale provider as it continues its expansion.

The juice bar will standardise on Qu’s platform to consolidate guest, order and menu data and manage all order channels comprehensively.

Nékter will also use Qu Flex kiosks to increase labour efficiency and guest service.
