Nekter Juice Bar and Pressed Juicery have announced a new partnership that will bring a curated selection of Pressed's functional wellness products — including Wellness Shots, Daily Juices, Probiotic Lemonade, and ready-to-go wellness bundles — to branded coolers at participating Nekter locations nationwide. This venture effectively combines two complementary wellness brands under one roof.
Nekter Juice Bar is known for its made-to-order superfood smoothies, açaí bowls, and cold-pressed juices. The collaboration with Pressed Juicery allows the brand to expand its grab-and-go offerings without altering its core made-to-order service model. Pressed, on the other hand, gains access to new communities through Nekter's established footprint of stores.
The assortment is designed to provide customers with a broader range of functional options, from daily hydration to targeted wellness support, all within the existing Nekter environment.
