ABOUT MALAMIAH JUICE BAR
Mission:
The mission of Malamiah Juice Bar is to promote holistic health and community wellness by providing natural juice
and smoothie products along with health education and youth employment opportunities.
Vision:
Our vision is to use fruits and vegetables (locally grown as much as possible) to create healthy juices and
smoothies that are both delicious and packed with nutrition. These drinks will allow customers to consume
beneficial nutrients in a concentrated form which will positively impact their health. We also provide educational
workshops and presentations to the community that can be hosted at the Downtown Market and presented at
various sites in the community. These presentations focus on sharing information about the health benefits of fruit
and vegetable consumption through juice and smoothies while also providing manageable steps to gradually
introduce healthy habits into personal lifestyles. The health presentations and product menu are specifically aimed
to entice and target the African American community. However, the products and presentations are by no means
exclusively offered to any one group or demographic. We also consider affordable product pricing to be highly
important so that the juices, smoothies and other items sold are accessible to a wide range of consumers
regardless of socioeconomic status.
