Carlton Hill is now home to a new fruit & veg shop which opened its doors for the first time last month.
Juicey’s has been established by Justine Fawzi, who first moved to the area just over a year ago.
The former HR worker said she was inspired to start up the new store after struggling to find fresh, organic, non-processed food to suit her healthy lifestyle in the local area.
She then spotted an empty travel agents on the high street on Carlton Hill and thought the property would make the ideal location for a new independent healthy food retailer – and Juicey’s was born.
The new store not only has fresh fruit and veg but also organic eggs. They also sell fresh meat sourced from a local farmer as well as fish from a local fishmonger that is shipped in several times a week.
The bakery section is also being developed following feedback from customers who want more.
We caught up with Lynn Baxter, a regular customer in the store.
She said: “I’m now a regular customer because of the great service and great produce”
Justine is passionate about sustainability and non-waste and has introduced Mediterranean hot food with freshly made soup with her own produce, jacket potatoes as well as developing the deli section containing olives, salad bar, non-processed, healthy food.
As soon as you enter the store you can feel the sustainability that Justine is passionate about with the shelving and displays made from recycled pallets and unused wood and the shop is also dog friendly.
Justine wanted to express her thanks to the people who have supported her so far and said ‘Just support independent business, come and get fresh, healthy, non-processed food that can be picked up daily with no waste. Its about quality not quantity”
So if you are looking for a bakery, butcher, fishmonger, deli, Mediterranean hot food or fruit and veg supplier – then Juicey’s may be for you.
