| Boosting sales through business partnerships |
United kingdom
07 April 2008
 Started in 2000 from a kitchen table in the suburbs of Melbourne, Boost Juice Bars now has outlets in more countries than any other smoothie chain. Now, Boost founder and MD Janine Allis, is partnering with Nestle to distribute bottled smoothies throughout the UK.
As an advocate of healthy eating, Allis says the inspiration for Boost came from her distaste for the fast food market. “We all know that the popularity of the fast food industry is linked to the rise of a lot of health-related diseases. It was in the late nineties that I realised there was a huge gap in the marketplace for a truly healthy, fast food.” |
