After Kevin Walker saw a television documentary on adopting a healthier lifestyle, he decided to try undergoing a cleanse, relying primarily on juices.
A year in, he was so impressed with the results that he bought a juicer. Before long, he realized there might be others who would want to do the same but who might not have time do to their own juicing.
That’s how Extract Juicery was born. Walker, with wife Tammy, opened their first shop in Wheaton, Illinois, then a second in St. Charles, Illinois. A third, in Edina, Minnesota, was soon added.
Now, Extract Juicery has opened its fourth location at 104 Ashourian Ave. Suite 103 in St. Johns.
“We’re very excited to bring our products to this area,” Walker said. “We do juices, smoothies, açai bowls, toasts, wraps, sandwiches, salads.”
The products are 100% organic and made in-house. The juicing is performed daily, in-house, on cold-press machinery.
The shop is independently owned and operated — not a franchise.
“We’ve learned and continue to learn and continue to evolve and grow, so we can become the best we can to serve our customers the best way possible,” Walker said.
The shop had a soft opening and then, on Friday, April 26, held its grand opening and a ribbon cutting ceremony with the St. Johns County Chamber of Commerce.
“The St. Johns area is such a nice community,” Walker said. “People were super-welcoming. People were super-friendly and very supportive for our business.”
