Summit juicery to open Aug. 13

Shoppers can get few extra servings of fruits and vegetables in on their next trip to The Summit. Local juicery Sprout & Pour is opening a new location next to Primeaux Cheese & Vino on Thursday, Aug. 13.

Their juices are made by cold-pressing, a process that yields a high amount of nutrition and lasts for four days. Juices also act as an energy booster and supplement made with food, no sugar or preservatives included.

“If you are going to spend $4-5 on a juice, you might as well put something in you that uses real food,” owner Amanda Blake Turner said. “All the benefits you get from eating [fruits and vegetables], you get from juicing them.”

The business started by selling at farmer’s markets and opened a brick-and-mortar store in Edgewood in Homewood in November. The Summit immediately invited them to open a location, and a few months later, the business had grown to where they decided to say yes.

In addition to juices, Sprout & Pour serves raw food snacks, such as energy bites, granola and raw doughnuts.

Soon after opening, the store will offer Juice Life classes in partnership with other retail stores at The Summit.

The interior will be similar to the original Sprout & Pour location.

“It will reflect a similar aesthetic to the Edgewood store, with a farm to table, fresh and clean space,” Turner said. “We painted the interior with a green to exude the idea behind drinking your greens, being in nature, eating clean and farming, and we built the bar top with reclaimed wood.”

Sprout & Pour’s hours will be Monday-Saturday 7:30 a.m.-8 p.m. and Sunday 1-6 p.m. For more information, visit sproutandpour.com.
