Inta Juice Building Nearly Finished
Location in front of Mountain View High School could house 5 businesses, including 2more restaurants
BY CRAIG YOUNG
The new two-story building in front of Mountain View High School that will house an Inta Juice smoothie shop should be finished in about two weeks, its owner said Thursday. Then the juice bar with drive-thru lane will open for business between Thanksgiving and the end of the year, according to Rob Woodward. He and his wife, Paula Woodward, own the Inta Juice at 2997 N. Garfield Ave. in Loveland and the Inta Juice national franchise company with two partners. The Inta Juice shop will take up just 1,500 square feet of the 10,000-square-foot building that Woodward is constructing at 3625 Mountain Lion Drive. He said he is working on leasing out the rest of the building. “Nothing is signed today, but we are negotiating with two restaurants,” he said.
The building will hold five businesses, Woodward said, including Inta Juice, two other restaurants, a retail business and possibly a fitness center with which he is negotiating. Inta Juice sells primarily fruit smoothies and breakfast bowls, which are thicker blended concoctions that are eaten with a spoon, as well as fresh squeezed vegetable and wheatgrass drinks. Woodward said he bought the Inta Juice brand about seven years ago, which he and his wife and the owners of the Longmont and Greeley Inta Juice locations own.
Including franchise locations that he said he inherited, Inta Juice has eight locations not counting the new one, including shops in Wyoming, Arizona, Minnesota and Arkansas. He said the owners of the franchise company just completed the legal paperwork to allow them to start selling franchises again.
Woodward, who is part-owner of the shop in Cheyenne, said he is looking for two sites in Fort Collins and plans to open a location in Berthoud in the next year or two.
