Meet Marco Anaya of Juice Budz in San Fernando Valley

Today we’d like to introduce you to Marco Anaya.

Marco, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
3 Childhood friends, Ephraim, Anthony, and myself, we wanted to create something that wasn’t really heard of and at the same time something that was good for people. We came up with Cold-Pressed Juice and ran with it. It was fresh (no pun intended), nutritious, and we wanted to make it taste good! We created a variety of recipes and modified them to taste really good, especially the green juices that are typically considered to be not very tasty. We wanted to introduce something to our community in the Valley that wasn’t too popular. We started in local farmer’s markets, grew into our flagship store in Sherman Oaks, and then we started wholesaling to local restaurants, cafes, hotels, theaters, and many other businesses that could retail our juice. Today, we have 2 locations and we ship to 3 states (California, Arizona, & Nevada).

Has it been a smooth road?
I don’t think it’s ever a smooth road for any business owner. We’ve had many challenges from disagreements, staff issues, vendor supply issues, finances, landlords, equipment failure, and much more but we keep on pushing.

So, as you know, we’re impressed with Juice Budz – tell our readers more, for example what you’re most proud of as a company and what sets you apart from others.
We are a Juice company that focuses on a healthier and active lifestyle. We make our own juice and our retail stores offer more than juice. You can say that we are known for our Juice Cleanses but we also serve delicious smoothies, acai bowls, wellness shots, and toasts. Juice Budz is getting back to basics, serving up 100% cold-pressed fruits and vegetables. With the belief that integrity should not be sacrificed, we’re mixing up some bold recipes and delivering them straight to our customer’s doors.

Finally, a juice that’s both good to your body and friendly to your taste Budz. We’re most proud of the awareness we can bring to our community. Bringing healthy products to people can be challenging but we found ways of making them taste good, fun, and making it a lifestyle. We’ve had the pleasure of teaming up with professional athletes, celebrities, and they help us bring awareness to others of the great benefits our juices and other products provide.
