What more could one ask for on an extremely hot summer afternoon in Chennai – A glass of ice cold water. What if we get a chilled fresh juice that you could gulp down your throat and feel completely refreshed and rejuvenated! The orange punch from the Fruit Shop on Greams Road does just that. Makes you feel alive in this scorching hot sun. And these are what they stand for – Healthy, fresh juices packed with all small innovations, a varied menu with strange yet captive names, a cozy hangout for youngsters and families alike.
This chain of fresh juice shops was found by Harris and Salim, two friends who stumbled upon this fruity career as they put it in their website. What started as a hard-core mishap has now successfully grown into a chain of 13 outlets each bearing the full name ‘Fruit Shop on GREAMS ROAD’, the famous road where all this began.
The outlets are in almost all major areas where people frequent, giving them a getaway from the heat outside. And the variety of juices and their interesting names make people try them even if they are a bit overrated. But as a regular visitor there, I can assure you that once you have tasted them, you would most certainly come for more. A healthy stop as this is claimed to be, we have all the walls pasted with the health advantages of many fruits which we have barely heard of, making this the USP to make people try new juices.
Love’s ode, Calypso, Spitfire, Romancing the apple, Rhapsody – these are some of the fascinating names they have. My personal favourite is the orange punch or the pink panther plus the tender coconut pudding – WOW and Yummy – I could settle for them any day.
I strongly believe, these are the two people who have understood the correct market strategy for a hot place like Chennai and provided people with a refreshing alternative of a healthy and a tasty retreat. Thanks and Kudos to them.
