BluePrintJuice coming to Whole Foods Markets in Chicago area

Despite being a food lover, I've yet to shop in a Whole Foods. And I just recently made my first trip to a Trader Joe's. I'm the south side sister who is insanely jealous of all the good foodie shopping and dining opportunities that my sisters who live in the west and northwest suburbs get to enjoy. For those who do shop at Whole Foods, I just thought I'd share this announcement that popped up in my inbox this week.

 

BLUEPRINTJUICE® LAUNCHES THROUGHOUT MIDWEST

A Cold Pressed Juice & Juice Beverage Now Available at

Whole Foods Markets Throughout Midwest

 

March 11^th, 2013, New York, NY – BluePrintJuice®, the hugely popular line of cold pressed, certified organic, non-GMO verified, raw* fruit and vegetable juices and juice beverages from BluePrint™ brand, is launching throughout the Midwest today. Currently available in Chicago, BluePrintJuice® will now be sold at 28 additional Whole Foods Markets throughout Kansas, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska and Wisconsin.

 

The Midwest has consistently been one of the brand’s top markets for online purchases, and BluePrintJuice® has been hugely successful at Whole Foods and other retail outlets throughout the country. This launch marks another step in the continued growth of BluePrint™ brand. For the first time, Midwest customers will have convenient, everyday access to their favorite BluePrint™ brand juice combinations in single bottles – whether to supplement a cleanse or to enjoy as a standalone beverage – priced from $7.99 to $9.99. In-store sampling will be offered in stores throughout opening month.

 

Pressed every day with produce from independent growers, BluePrintJuice® will be sold in the refrigerated juice and juice beverages display, and the bottles are easily identifiable by their blue cap. Juices and juice beverage varieties include:

“We are thrilled to have the opportunity to offer our organic, raw juices and juice beverages to our Midwest-based customers,” said BluePrint™ brand co-founders Zoe Sakoutis and Erica Huss. “Ever since we started BluePrint™ brand in 2007, we have had a devout following in the region. With this launch at Whole Foods, now we can offer even more accessibility to our Midwest friends and introduce our juices to new users as well.”

 

The launch is another step in BluePrint™ brand’s rapid growth as a nationally recognized leading brand in the raw juice category. Last year, BluePrint™ brand was acquired by The Hain Celestial Group, Inc., a leading natural and organic products company. In 2012, BluePrint™ brand introduced Yellow 2 “Ginger Limeade,” a delicious new juice beverage as part of BluePrintJuice®; achieved USDA organic certification and expanded BluePrintJuice® into new markets across the US. Earlier this year, BluePrint™ brand was dubbed by Fast Company as one of the Most Innovative Companies of 2013 and gained non-GMO verification by the Non-GMO Project. With each of these exciting initiatives, BluePrint™ brand has maintained its position at the forefront of innovation and technology, continuing to thrive and grow in a highly competitive industry.

 

In 2011, BluePrint™ brand opened a second manufacturing facility in Los Angeles and began shipping to Canada; the brand also began to sell its juices and juice beverages at markets nationwide including FreshDirect, Whole Foods Market, Dean & DeLuca and more. BluePrint™ brand has partnerships with some of the country’s most followed exercise studios including Exhale Spa, Flywheel Sports and The Dailey Method. BluePrint™ brand has a large corporate client base in the media, fashion and financial industries, among others. To help clients stay healthy at home, BluePrint™ brand offers nutritional consultations with their registered dietician, and its book, The 3-Day Cleanse, which includes over 75 recipes for food and juice beverages.  

 

*Never Heat Pasteurized. Blue Print™ brand uses pressure processing to keep our juice beverages raw and safe.
