Sidewalk Juice is a fast-casual juice bar franchise offering freshly made juices, smoothies, bowls, toasts, and coffee. The brand was founded in 2006 in San Francisco, California, starting from a small kiosk on the sidewalk at 21st and Valencia. Its headquarters are located in Burlingame, California. Sidewalk Juice began offering franchise opportunities in 2018, expanding beyond its core Bay Area footprint.
The franchise focuses on freshness, quality, and transparency. Every drink and meal is made-to-order right in front of the customer using natural, high-quality ingredients. This approach allows customers to see exactly what goes into their beverages, reinforcing trust and promoting a healthy lifestyle.
Sidewalk Juice stands out from competitors by maintaining a simple yet vibrant concept that blends health, convenience, and community. Its colorful store design, quick service, and commitment to clean ingredients attract health-conscious consumers looking for nutritious, on-the-go options.

Sidewalk Juice offers a detailed training program designed to prepare franchisees and their key staff for operating a juice bar successfully. The program is structured as follows:
Sidewalk Juice offers franchisees a protected territory, primarily for conventional juice bars. Within this area, the franchisor agrees not to open another company-owned or franchised juice bar that is substantially similar to the franchisee’s operation.
However, this protection does not extend to non-traditional venues like regional malls, transit hubs, airports, or facilities owned by entities that merge with or acquire the franchisor.
Despite having a protected territory, Sidewalk Juice reserves wide rights to distribute its products through alternative channels such as online platforms, wholesale, mail order, or special events—even within a franchisee’s area. Franchisees are not entitled to compensation for sales made in their territory by the franchisor or others authorized by it.
