JOIN Juice Bars were created to bring something fresh to the modern urban culture, to welcome a different way of life-healthier, happier, more active and to offer to each and every one of us a customized experience of fun, in a friendly, young, full of life environment.

Every day they serve the most eclectic, nutritional and highly creative, in terms of taste, freshly squeezed juices in Salonica, as well as a rich variety of healthy choices such as smoothies, yogurts, salads, sandwiches, snacks and exceptional coffee for you, who are always on the go. In this interview we find out more about Join Juice Bars from Giannis Mitrakos – Owner & General Manager.
I decided to enter the franchise business, after developing 4 company-owned stores, when I decided to expand the chain in a faster rate and outside my hometown. The trend for healthy lifestyle and healthy food was very strong and at the same time healthy food concepts were almost unknown.
I realized that healthy lifestyle, with sports and athletic life, high nutritional values and healthy food was a big trend. During my trips abroad, I saw the development of new food concepts emphasizing on health and I was highly attracted , because I was engaged in foodservice business anyway.
The word “Join” invites people to join us in our lifestyle, our philosophy, our way to live.
The Join logo shows Atlas, from Greek mythology, carrying an orange. In Greek mythology, Atlas was a Titan, condemned to hold up the sky for eternity after the Titanomachy. However, now we are already moving to a new logo, a more modern and fresh version.
Join products are all freshly made on order. There is a big variety of healthy product categories, including the energy category with energy bowls and energy meals. Additionally there is lively music, energy vibes, casual ambience and atmosphere and warm and original smiles.
I want to cooperate with franchisees that are open-minded, trustworthy and possess passion for quality and excellence. And most importantly franchisees who are willing to join and share our philosophy and values.
