The Norwalk Juice Press “The juices extracted from fresh-raw vegetables and fruits are the means by which we can furnish all the cells and tissues of the body with the elements and nutritional enzymes they need in the manner they can be most readily digested and assimilated.” – Dr. Norman Walker Freshly-squeezed juice is a healthy alternative to bottled and canned juices, which often contain artificial sweeteners and additives. It is easy to have freshly-squeezed juice at home with the help of a juicer. There are two main types of juicers: centrifugal and cold-press. Although both machines provide fresh juice, they operate differently, resulting in notable differences in the finished product. How Centrifugal Juicers Work The most widely available electric juicers are centrifugal juicers. The way these machines operate affects the quality of the juice they produce. These appliances extract juice from fruit with an internal high-speed blade that spins against a metal strainer. The juice is separated from the flesh of the fruit by the centrifugal force generated by the blade and strainer separates the juice from the flesh of the fruit. Juice from a Centrifugal Appliance As the blade inside a centrifugal juicer spins at a high speed, it generates heat. This heat destroys enzymes in the fruit that is being cut and juiced inside the machine. The heat also oxidizes and separates nutrients naturally found in the whole fruit, rendering those nutrients that make it into the juice less pure. Centrifugal juicers produce less nutritious juice than cold-press juicers, according to FoodMatters. How Cold-Press Juicers Work Cold-press juicers (sometimes referred to as masticating juicers) also produce juice from whole fruit. Instead of cutting fruit like centrifugal juicers, cold-press juicers chew or mash fruit to extract juice. Gears inside cold-press juicers compress fruits, vegetables and greens to squeeze out the juices. These juicers keep the juice intact, meaning naturally-occurring nutrients are retained in the extraction process. Juice from a Cold-Press Many health-conscious people prefer cold-press juicers to centrifugal juicers because they operate with lower heat. This lower heat setting keeps fruit enzymes intact. Since cold-press juicers mash fruit, they do not oxidize nutrients found in the fruit. They are believed to produce a more pure juice, as the finished product does not differ greatly from the juice inside the fruit. Cold-press juicers also efficiently process leafy greens, such as spinach, wheatgrass and kale. This is a task that centrifugal juicers are not equipped to perform. Since these leafy greens carry many health benefits, this is another way to get vital nutrients and vitamins using cold-press juicers. LiveMoore will produce creative, organic, raw and live products quot;

Attractive Retail Store Economics Estimated Store Sales $2,000,000 1st Store Build-Out Cost $450,000 Average Store Build Out Cost $300,000 Average Sales Transaction $24.00 to $45.00 Weekly Sales $35,000 to $42,000 Cash Payback 12 to 24 Months Financial Research The first store is always the more expensive one to open. When LiveMoore opens on the East Side and downtown neighborhoods, the new store startup costs will decrease as a rule of thumb. Example: Because LiveMoore is a start-up, most landlords require 6 months rent upfront and 3 to 4 months of security as there is no business history. Projected sales and expenses included in this plan were personally observed and studied over a 5-month period at an un-named Organic Juice Company with over 5 retail stores throughout New York City and The Hamptons. As Manager of the West Village and SoHo Boutiques and Project Manager for new store openings, estimates are in near perfect range to that of my past employer. I made note of the many holes in their business model. The majority of waste and profit-loss stems from off-site production, poor inventory management and owner/operator disconnection with management, staff and customers. Juice/Smoothies/Salads tastes best when made fresh and in one location. Period. LiveMoore will produce all units sold on-site. Company Company Overview LiveMoore is a quot;

We pride ourselves with supporting the New York State economy through buying local when at all possible. LiveMoore will also have extended hours compared to the competition. 8am to 1am Monday through Sunday. Longer hours and skeleton staff will allow us to effectively service our customers that work and socialize after midnight. We will be the first ever to market Holistic/Organic customizable super supplement packs and elixirs to combat the following side effects: Jet lag, overeating, drinking dehydration, chronic fatigue, other various ailments and recreational drug use. Customers will include medium- and high-income residents of Soho/West Village/Meat Packing or Columbus Circle, as well as tourists and those who work in these health conscious dense neighborhoods. The store will be managed and directed by Calvin Moore, a veteran Independent Licensed Real Estate Broker/Developer and current Manager at a leading New York City Organic Juice Company with over 5 locations. LiveMoore is established as a limited liability company with 100% by Calvin Moore. Management responsibilities with be shared with Board of Director members. 10% of profit will be given to angel investors who invest to help finance the start up of LiveMoore. Investors will provide investment in the way of seed cash to help start the business and none of the investors will be active participants in any management decisions. LiveMoore is a privately held LLC, currently 100% owned by founder and president, Calvin Moore. In order to make LiveMoore financially viable, there are three major factors necessary to get the business up and running. A feasible concept. I have lived and breathed the entire Juice/Smoothie experience throughout the entire New York City market and the surrounding boroughs of Brooklyn, Queens and New Jersey. A quot;
Managerquot;
who's a motivating model of health and salesperson with vibrant personality and entrepreneurial spirit Financial support. This support will come from three different sources. Calvin Moore will invest time as visionary, developer and manager. This is a need for investors to help with the initial capital to allow the business to have enough equity to get off the ground. The final piece of financial support is the faith and commitment of a financial institution to loan the remaining funds that are needed to operate the business. Management Team LiveMoore will be managed by Calvin Moore on a day-to-day basis. He will devote 100% of his time to this venture. There are three key employees joining Calvin in this venture, David Gonzales, Roger Black and Craig Lowenstern. Calvin Moore will participate with managing and overseeing all operations of the LiveMoore retail store, including the kitchen, inventory management, human resources (hiring and training), finances, define priorities for all supervised staff, store maintenance, etc. Craig Lowenstern heads Sales and Strategy for LiveMoore and works in close consultation with Moore with most business model and strategy.

A Norwalk Juicer “Cold-Pressed” describes the method of juice-making. The Rolls-Royce of cold-pressed juicers is the Norwalk Juicer, and juice bars that use the Norwalk Juicer will market their juices as such. Rather than using a “centrifugal” juice extraction process (which most conventional juicers do), the Norwalk Juicer extracts juice through the tremendous pressure exerted by a Hydraulic Press. Maximal amounts of natural fruit sugars, vitamins, trace minerals, enzymes, and other vital elements are preserved. This imparts to the juice an extremely fine quality and flavor which is unequaled by any other method of juice extraction. Centrifugal juicers involve a rapidly spinning strainer. Heat, static electricity and large amounts of air are drawn in; nutrients are destroyed as oxidation occurs. Essential enzymes in fruit and vegetable juice die at temperatures exceeding 50 degrees Celsius. Any juice extractor using a high-speed blade or centrifuge creates friction heat and destroys vital nutrients. Juicing machines will allow you to take control of the quality of the produce, but extraction methods can still destroy vital nutrients, vitamins and living enzymes. What Are The Benefits Of Cold-Pressed Juice? The key benefits of the cold-pressed method are: 1. Nutrients and Enzymes Are Preserved. Because the cold-pressed method does not generate the heat that the centrifugal method does, fewer nutrients and enzymes are killed. From the Norwalk website: A comparative study of the operation and efficiency of machine quot;
Aquot;
, a leading centrifugal juicer; machine quot;
Bquot;
, described as being a juicer, grater and homogenizer; and machine quot;
Nquot;
, a Norwalk hydraulic press juicer and a chemical analysis of the mineral content of the extract juices. Uniform five pound samples of carrots, parsley, and celery were run on each of the machines with the above results. 2. Higher Yield. The cold-pressed method extracts much more juice and nutrients from the vegetables and fruit. We have both a Norwalk Juicer and a Breville (centrifugal machine, which is great for other reasons), and my husband estimates that the Norwalk Juicer produces about 50% more juice from a given batch of ingredients). 3. Taste. The juice from a Norwalk Juicer tastes much better. It tastes cleaner and crisper. When I haven’t had the juices in a while, the best way to describe what I crave is the oxygen to my cells. Turns out, greens to bring oxygen to more cells of the body! Explanations for my body’s craving for these green juices are below: Calorie for calorie, greens offer the most nutritional bang per calorie than any other food. They are rich in minerals (including iron, calcium, potassium, and magnesium) and vitamins, including vitamins K, C, E, and many of the B vitamins. They also provide a variety of phytonutrients including beta-carotene, lutein, and zeaxanthin, which protect our cells from damage and our eyes from age-related problems, among many other effects. Phytonutrients have been shown to protect the body against free radical damage, stimulate detoxifying enzymes, support the immune system and act as antiviral and antibacterial agents. Greens are a rich source of chlorophyll, which acts as a detoxifier in the body. Chlorophyll also helps the blood to deliver oxygen to all the cells of the body as well as helping to neutralize free radicals that cause damage to cells. If you suffer from bad breath or body odors, chlorophyll will help that — it is a natural deodorizer! The darker the greens, the higher the chlorophyll content. To get the full benefit of the chlorophyll in greens, it’s best to eat them raw or very lightly cooked. Greens are alkalizing. It’s important to keep our body’s PH at a healthy level. However, the modern American diet consists of mostly acid-forming foods like meat and carbohydrates. Consuming lots of vegetables, particularly greens, would help maintain health and balance. Dark, leafy greens contain essential omega-3 fatty acids, which are vital for all body functions and protect against heart disease by lowering bad cholesterol. Greens are powerful antioxidants, which are known to protect the body from damage from toxins in the environment and the foods we eat. Antioxidants neutralize these toxins and clear them from the body. Wheatgrass is also a powerful detoxifier and is high in chlorophyll, minerals and other nutrients vital to good health. It’s an excellent way to cleanse the blood and support the liver. Many health food stores have a juice section where you can get fresh wheatgrass—start with a 1-ounce shot followed by some vegetable or fruit juice, and when your body is more used to the detoxifying effect, you can take 2 ounces. A word of caution: Don’t take wheatgrass and follow with vigorous exercise—I did once and regretted it, as I felt nauseous throughout my workout session. The main benefit of green juice is its alkalizing effect. Fruit juices are more astringent; essentially the fruit digs it up and the green moves it out! There Are Drawbacks… The Norwalk juices are relatively expensive to make and buy; and they have a shelf-life of approximately 3 days. It is unlikely to be sold at a grocery store but, rather, a juice bar. Conclusion The Norwalk juices provide an unusual sense of refreshment, rejuvenation, air, and energy to my body. LiveMoore is a lifestyle brand that will offer customers easy, delicious, filling juices and smoothies paired with supplements and waters to boost energy/health levels and confidence in their eating choices. LiveMoore sets itself apart from competition by offering a verbal and written commitment to buying Organic and Local Produce when at all possible.

LiveMoore will the first ever juice company to create a brand providing holistic products and services for the mind, body and spirit exclusively produced on-site at a retail store level. We all see the average, loud and visually polluted smoothie bars on every corner. Fitness Centers have even added Juice Bars to their business model, but none are household names or have set a high industry standard with product quality and service. LiveMoore will become quot;
thequot;
number one juice cold-pressed juice and smoothie of choice in New York City and surrounding boroughs. Competitors to note in terms of location, services and quality include Organic Avenue. Organic Avenue is a mild threat to LiveMoore as it has a created a very recognizable brand with cold pressed juices, weekly cleanses and 6 locations throughout Manhattan and The Hamptons. Juices and smoothies are bottled in beautiful glass bottles and customers received a $2.00 refund on all bottles returned. Because of this refund, customers return with bottles having a feeling of savings at the register, when in fact, they always spend more.

The Juice Press. This establishment has two locations in the East Village and faithful customers will travel or order delivery service. The owner is a hardcore vegan and has a very hands on approach to running the business and interacting with customers. I've been to Juice Press 5 five times.

A personal touch and connection with the owner or an energetic Manager would add a great deal of life to the customer experience. East side location without any plans of expanding. Target Market Market Overview quot;
Global Smoothies Market to Reach $9.0 Billion by 2015, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.GIA announces the release of a comprehensive global report on Smoothies markets. The world market for smoothies is projected to touch $9 billion by the year 2015. This is primarily driven by rising health consciousness among the people, on-the-go consumption convenience, and taste and naturalness offered by smoothies. Further, aggressive marketing campaigns and new product developments are also driving smoothies market growth.quot;
PRWEB.COM Market Needs Our target customers are not only those who are health conscious, but those customers who know eating and drinking cleaner/healthier drink and foods are the right thing to do. They are working professionals, students, tourists and local residents who value a reliable high-quality juice spa who's re-inventing how we view and fulfill our daily nutrition requirements. Strategy and Implementation Marketing Plan Overview The LiveMoore marketing strategy is a simple one: satisfied customers are our best marketing tool. When a customer leaves with a delicious and satisfying juice or smoothie, our name and service will stand on its own. I've talked with many friends, and associates who are excited about this plan and are anxious to use, refer and promote the LiveMoore Brand. Positioning For busy, mobile people whose time is already at a premium, but desire a refreshing, high quality cold-pressed juice or smoothie on the go. Pricing LiveMoore will be priced at the upper edge of what the market will bear, competing with similar types of services in the area. The moment a customer walks into our store, the branding, music, customer service and product quality will justify the minimal price difference. Example: Elixir Westerly Market Whole Foods Promotion Promotion will be initially spearheaded by public relations, ie, Facebook, MySpace, Twitter; etc because of its low cost, and then through advertising once the company begins to increase cash flow to an acceptable figure. Distribution The customers will buy our products directly from the store, in the store. We will also generate future sales through our website and its secure server. We will also deliver all ordered products from the store after 6 months of opening to create a sense of demand...this strategy also insures product quality remains at peak levels. All telephone orders will be taken at the store through either our local number. All debits and credits, order transactions, charge backs, and price discounts will be accounted for through our Apple computer system and POS software. Milestones The milestones listed are the key steps to launching LiveMoore Columbus Circle. Renovation of the space will be directed by Owner and Operator Calvin Moore with insight from all staff. The work will be directed by a renovations contractor who will subcontract work to electricians, plumbers, painters, juice bar specialists, etc. The other activities come under the marketing umbrella of Roger Black Studio and Jeremy Murphy, LiveMoore's marketing directors. The preparations will be made while the venue is being renovated, with renderings and photos of the proposed renovation and store concept.

The minimal but noteworthy increase is not reflected in the above calculations. The formula will vary depending on what neighborhood and street LiveMoore will occupy. For now, the monthly estimated numbers are from a location servicing 200 customers per day with an average ticket of $25. Example: LiveMoore will open in a heavy traffic area of local residents and tourists. In Columbus Circle on West 58th Street between 8th and 9th Avenue, Starbucks and Pinkberry have traffic of 200 to 300 customers per day as per conversations with Owners and Managers. For this example, LiveMoore will have a conservative average sales ticket of $25. 200 customers in a 12 hour day would average out to 16/17 customers per hour. $25 x 200 customers = 5,000 per day $5000 x 7 days = $35,000 per week $35,000 x 4 weeks = $140,000 per month $140,000 x 12 months = 1,680,000 per year in sales. From my professional experience in managing Organic Avenue in SoHo, these are realistic numbers for a store located on a residential side street at Sullivan and Houston. While there, our daily average was around $3,000 in sales. The West Village store brought in between $3,500 to $4,000 daily located on Hudson between Jane and Horatio. LiveMoore would be perfectly positioned in the Columbus Circle, West Village or SoHo areas where foot traffic is abundant from students, local residents and tourists. Rents range from $5,000 to $12,000 monthly. LiveMoore will lock in a 3 to 5 year lease.

LiveMoore will pay $10.50 to $12.50 per hour. A few dollars more than the average juice bar. Energist 1 will have a supervisory role of kitchen staff and will manage daily produce orders. They also come with 2 years plus experience from a high volume juice bar/restaurant with the ability to order only what is needed and prevent profit loss and produce waste. The Sales Team too will be from some of the finest retail stores with the proven ability to gracefully push sales to each and every customer. Our goal is to have an average sales ticket of $25.00 to $35.00 for each customer. The Sales Team will benefit from commissions for sales over $300. Commission schedule to be determined. Once LiveMoore is up and running, we will look to hire a Full-Time Delivery person to handle online and call-in orders. $8.00 per hour will be base pay plus tips. There will be 3 to 4 employees on staff at all times. 1 salesperson and 2 Energists or 2 salespersons and 3 Energists. Inventory Manager: ALL incoming Inventory orders other than produce will be opened, verified and tagged by Calvin Moore. Not only will this simply the process of verifying orders properly, it prevents miscounting and theft.
