Still it's not as bad as Juice Press, and I think it's weird to lament the loss of a frickin' Blimpie. And Blimpie closed months before Liquiteria planned to take over the space.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-6052380809219141842014-01-11T08:06:43.148-05:002014-01-11T08:06:43.148-05:00Oh, I've been done and didn't know Doug ha...Oh, I've been done and didn't know Doug had sold. I hope he cashed out well. <br /><br />Liquiteria will not do well as a storefront outside of NYC and LA. There just aren't enough people outside of those areas that will pay $8, $9 for a smallish bottle of juice. <br /><br />They will be competing against Starbuck's "Evolution Fresh" brand, which literally stole an employee from Liquiteria and moved her to corporate in Seattle. The Evolution Fresh juices are already in Whole Foods, and cost $4 to $6 rather than $8+<br /><br />The high rent could be a factor, but otherwise a west village Liquiteria storefront should do ok.
