ORLANDO, FL / ACCESSWIRE / April 17, 2024 / (ORLANDO, FL) - APRIL 17, 2024 - Citrus America, North America's leading supplier of high-quality commercial juicing equipment and solutions for grocery retailers and food service operators, has kicked off its Juicing Across America 2024 Tour, continuing with its initial tour that began in early 2021.
With the start of StorePoint Fresh in January, Citrus America's founder and president Brian Framson and its VP of National Sales, Jay Gardner, marked the launch of Juicing Across America 2024. Following the conclusion of StorePoint Fresh, Gardner embarked on a westward itinerary that took him to various customers across New Mexico, Arizona, and Southern California, eventually ending that leg in Las Vegas for the National Grocers Association and Bar & Restaurant Expo.
After splitting from the company's uniquely branded ‘Juice Mobile' to visit customers across Utah, Framson continued the tour across Northern California and the West Coast, ending this leg of the journey in Seattle, Washington. Gardner is currently covering the Pacific Northwest, visiting with customers across Washington State and Oregon, when he attends the Northwest Food Show in Portland. Beginning in May, the tour will make its way eastward across the northern U.S., with the next major event taking place in Chicago, at the National Restaurant Show in May.
In Spring 2021, just as Americans began getting their first vaccine shots in arms and the nation navigated the ebbs and flows of the pandemic, the Citrus America team set off across the Continental United States to bring their freshly squeezed citrus juice to everyday Americans and insights with its customers on fresh juicing strategies.
Reflecting on the journey of the 2021 Juicing Across America Tour, Framson and his team witnessed firsthand the resilience and determination of communities nationwide. From cityscapes to national parks, the tour traversed 19 different states, engaging with over 50 customers and numerous sales and service partners along the way.
Building on the foundational themes observed during the initial tour, Citrus America aims to continue fostering connections, promoting healthy lifestyles, and delivering its unparalleled fresh squeezed citrus juice in 2024 and beyond, making good on its commitment to taste, hygiene, and efficiency.
Recently, a new study conducted by Dr. Nick Bellissimo, associate professor and director of Nutrition Discovery Labs at the Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU), has suggested that drinking 100-percent orange juice results in lower daily blood glucose concentrations in healthy, normal-weight adults, and that substituting it for a sugar-sweetened beverage may decrease total caloric intake and regulate blood glucose levels throughout the day.
What better way to get 100-percent pure, fresh orange juice than to see it squeezed in your local grocery store every day, as Citrus America is helping to do, as it crisscrosses the country.
