Booster Juice Inc. is a popular Canadian company that makes and sells delicious smoothies and fresh juices. It started in 1999 and quickly became a favorite spot for healthy drinks. Booster Juice is known for its tasty smoothies, which are made with real juice, fruit sorbet (like a fruity ice cream!), vanilla frozen yogurt, frozen fruit, fresh yogurt, and ice.
The company was founded by Dale Wishewan in Sherwood Park, Alberta. It grew very fast by allowing other people to open their own Booster Juice stores through a system called franchising. In just two years, Booster Juice opened 50 stores, which was a record in Canada at the time! Today, there are 375 Booster Juice locations across Canada.
History of Booster Juice
Dale Wishewan opened the very first Booster Juice store in November 1999. He noticed that there weren't many places in Canada where you could get fresh juice and smoothies. Before starting the business, he even tested his smoothie ideas by making them for his family and neighbors at home!
The first store was in Sherwood Park, a town just east of Edmonton. Dale Wishewan has continued to be the main leader of Booster Juice as its President and CEO.
Booster Juice quickly grew and opened many more stores across Canada. Most of its stores are in Western Canada. Because of its success in Canada, Booster Juice also started opening stores in other countries in the 2000s.
