The Inta Juice logo, seen above at the juice and smoothie chain’s Kanawha City outpost at 4002 MacCorkle Ave. SE , will soon be seen in downtown Charleston. On Feb. 19, a second location of the business opens on Summers Street, between the First Watch restaurant and Capitol Roasters coffeeshop, says Mark Wright, the local outlet’s general manager.
Inta Juice is a national chain that specializes in way-healthy smoothie and juice blends, along with wheatgrass shots, for the brave of heart. I’ve become a junkie for their Veggie Energizer, a tasty-sweet juice melange of carrots, celery, beets and cucumbers. (Yeah, you people who don’t eat your broccoli cringe– but not only is it good for you, but it’s good).
You could spend the better part of a month drinking through the menu o
f more than 50 combination drinks, which blend everything from blueberries, pineapples, bananas, watermelon, peach, kiwi and blackberries to Red Bull, bee pollen, wheat germ, ginseng, echinacea and beyond.
The Charleston outlets are owned by pro football star and West Virginia native Randy Moss. It’s a pretty hip and healthy business investment for a guy no doubt rolling in dough — and bee pollen, too.
