Once embraced by celebrities and influencers, juice cleanses became one of the defining wellness trends of the 2010s, marketed as a way to detox the body and promote rapid weight loss through expensive multi-day programs.
Over the past decade, consumer preferences have shifted toward more sustainable approaches to health and nutrition, while wellness brands have adapted to changing shopping habits and new ways of reaching customers.
Now, one of the industry’s best-known names is closing multiple locations nationwide.
Founded in 2010 in Los Angeles, California, Pressed Juicery built its reputation on cold-pressed juices and cleanse programs before expanding into plant-based smoothies, acai bowls, dairy-free soft serve, and other wellness products.
Today, the company sells through about 100 company-owned stores and roughly 10,000 wholesale locations, including Albertsons, Costco, Sprouts, Ralphs, Safeway, and Vons.
Pressed Juicery is closing locations nationwide
Pressed Juicery has confirmed it will close several locations across the country as it shifts its business strategy to reflect changing consumer shopping habits.
Rather than relying primarily on standalone stores, the company says more customers are discovering its products through grocery retailers, digital ordering, and on-demand delivery.
“As consumer demand continues to shift toward these channels, we have made the difficult decision to streamline portions of our company-owned retail footprint while maintaining a strategic presence in key markets where our stores continue to play an important role,” a company spokesperson told WFAA.
“As we continue to evolve, our focus remains on meeting consumers where they shop today while ensuring Pressed remains widely accessible across retail, digital, delivery, and our remaining stores.”
Pressed Juicery did not disclose how many stores would close, which locations would be affected, or provide a timeline for the shutdowns.

Pressed Juicery is shifting beyond traditional stores
Pressed Juicery began as a 25-square-foot juice counter in Los Angeles before expanding into a national chain. As its wholesale distribution grew, however, the company’s operations evolved well beyond its brick-and-mortar roots.
According to the company, wholesale distribution now generates the majority of Pressed Juicery’s revenue, making physical storefronts a smaller part of its overall business. That shift has prompted the company to streamline parts of its retail footprint while investing in channels consumers prefer today.
In June, Pressed Juicery announced a partnership with CloudKitchens that will bring the brand to 27 delivery-focused locations by the end of the summer, further expanding its digital ordering and delivery network.
“Our partnership with CloudKitchens allows us to expand access to Pressed in an entirely new way,” said Pressed Juicery CEO Justin Nedelman in a statement reported by Restaurant Dive.
“As consumer behavior continues to shift toward digital ordering and on-demand delivery, we’re meeting people where they are — bringing Pressed beyond our traditional standalone stores and making our clean, functional nutrition more accessible than ever.”
The company has also broadened its menu over the years. While Pressed Juicery was originally known almost exclusively for cold-pressed juices and cleanse programs, it now offers smoothies, acai bowls, dairy-free soft serve, refreshers, and other products designed to appeal to a wider range of customers.
Here’s some of my previous coverage of store closures:

- Pizza chain closing up to 50 locations after years of declines
- 98-year-old grocery chain closing stores in key markets
Pressed Juicery’s evolving strategy reflects a broader shift across the retail industry, where brands are increasingly prioritizing wholesale partnerships, digital ordering, and delivery services while reducing the number of standalone stores.
For the company, that means expanding beyond the storefronts that helped build its brand and focusing on the channels where it says customers are shopping today.
