The story of how Thrive Juicery expanded its fresh juice business using Byte Technology\u2019s smart refrigerator fresh food vending machines is inspiring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thrive Juicery started with just one brick-and-mortar store. Then, just 11 months later, they added a second store.  Now, they are launching Byte Technology-powered fresh juice kiosks at gyms, apartment buildings, and on university campuses. Thrive\u2019s success is, well, tasty! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Thrive Juicery Started<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ann Arbor, Michigan has a huge wellness community with two Whole Foods stores as well as several supermarkets that are all based on wellness. However, Ann Arbor had no fresh juicery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At age 37, Thrive Juicery\u2019s co-founder, Anna Mignery\u2019s husband was diagnosed with what they thought was celiac; and he decided to do a juice cleanse to help reset his whole body. Even though they later found out that the diagnosis was incorrect, he could not deny the positive effects that juicing had. The benefits that they felt were phenomenal, and they found that others felt the same way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThrive was born more out of this sense of calling like we need to provide this for our community\u201d states Anna. Thrive Juicery\u2019s mission is to help the ill overcome, to help the well feel even better, and to help everyone discover their true potential.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Thrive Juicery Started Vending<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Not long after opening, Anna was being approached by fitness studios and hospitals wanting to be able to sell Thrive\u2019s fresh juices in their facilities. But there was one major hurdle to overcome. Because it\u2019s not a pasteurized product, the juices have to be purchased directly from the producer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While traveling, Anna\u2019s husband discovered fresh food vending machines and realized they might provide the perfect solution because Byte\u2019s kiosks are a convenient and accessible way to sell at multiple locations with the product still coming directly from Thrive Juicery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Byte\u2019s Smart Refrigerators?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Thrive juices, because they are fresh and unpasteurized, have a very short shelf life of about five days. Because of their small size, Byte\u2019s smart refrigerators were a great fit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anna says, \u201cWe can sell the products quickly and keep restocking them as opposed to worrying about large amounts of products expiring.\u201d She also says that her locations \u2014the gyms, hospitals, and colleges\u2014are more receptive to using Byte\u2019s refrigerators because they don’t take up much floor space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting Started Was Easy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anna explains how simple the process of getting started with Byte was for them. \u201cByte got the fridges to us quickly and we got them stocked and ready to go. I have someone that just comes in and puts our branding on the sides of the fridge the day we get it, and then we fill it the next day.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the start-up, Byte provided valuable service to help Thrive Juicery continue to thrive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anna says, \u201cAs a food service person, I’m constantly worried that the refrigerator might not be at the right temperature. But if there\u2019s anything that I\u2019m worried about, I go to my Byte Dashboard and all the data and analytics are there. There are also tutorials. If I have a question, I’ve been able to find the answers easily.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anna\u2019s satisfaction with Byte\u2019s fresh food vending machines is palpable, \u201cWe have had customers that have been asking for some time for something like this. We just didn’t have the solution, but now we do. Cold press juicing is a labor of love, and Byte ended up being the perfect platform. It\u2019s helping us to fulfill our mission.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
