    Before making fresh juice bar business plan Grant did research on his competitors so that he can come up with features that others lack. Competitive aspects defined by Fructose Bar are given here:

    Our biggest competitive advantage is that we’ve established a comfortable place for our customers to sit in and enjoy our offerings.

Thirdly we will provide snacks and scoops besides juice and smoothies so that every person including kids and teen can have something to buy from us.

    And the last thing that can benefit us is our excellent location which is near to offices, institutes resident community as well as shopping areas.

    6.2 Sales Strategy

    We will offer a 10% discount on our servings for the first month of our launch.
