Additional stores in Seattle and San Francisco will open this fall.

The downtown Seattle Evolution Fresh store, located at 517 Pine Street, is a made-to-order grab-and-go destination for busy urban customers in and around the city’s retail and business core. Juice experts craft fresh juice blends and serve up globally-inspired recipes using fresh ingredients in a unique retail setting with convenient free local delivery. The Evolution Fresh store also offers a selection of organic, vegetarian and vegan options, as well as grab-and-go packaged sandwiches, collard wraps, snacks, and bottled Evolution Fresh juices.

Additionally, customers can purchase One-Day Evolution Rituals juice packs as a fresh and easy way to incorporate more fruits and vegetables into their everyday routine. Four different One-Day Evolution packs are available, including the Easy Evolution Pack, Balanced Evolution Pack, Green Evolution Pack and the One Salad Evolution Pack.

"We have received a very positive response from the first Evolution Fresh retail store opening just a few months ago, and we are excited to open our second store in the Seattle area," said Arthur Rubinfeld, president, Global Development and Evolution Fresh Retail. "Evolution Fresh provides convenient accessibility for our customers to enjoy flavorful, cold-pressed juices and natural foods, and we are pleased to bring these offerings to downtown Seattle."

Customers can also now find Evolution Fresh ready-to-drink juices in select premium grocery and natural food stores across the West Coast as well as at Evolution Fresh stores and select Starbucks retail locations.

The continued expanded availability of Evolution Fresh bottled juices brings customers the vibrancy and convenience of real, pure ingredients while they are on the go. These ready-to-drink juices capture the flavor, vitamins and nutrients of raw fruits and vegetables, delivered by Evolution Fresh’s innovative use of high pressure processing (HPP). For customers seeking a classic morning beverage, Evolution Fresh Orange Juice is bright with the flavor of fresh-squeezed oranges. Evolution Fresh makes it easy for customers to incorporate more vegetables in their diet with vegetable-based juices, such as Essential Vegetable and Vital Greens, and brings flavor to hydration with options including Pineapple Coconut Water and Spicy Lemonade.

“Evolution Fresh juice is now available to more consumers than ever before, and we are pleased to see the strong momentum and consumer interest in what Evolution Fresh delivers,” said Jeff Hansberry, president, Channel Development. “Customers are looking for convenient, high-quality, and nutritious beverages and foods, and we see an opportunity to harness the intense consumer interest in Evolution Fresh products coming to market, both in Starbucks retail stores and down the grocery aisle.”
