What we've been upto....

Much has happened since I last wrote.

For one, we have received the delivery of our mobile kiosk from the fabricators/automobile workshop. Our design consultants are now finalizing the designs before they move on to the final phase of fabricating the mobile with our branding and art work. After that we should be ready to launch. As of now, our anticipated launch date is either the first or second week of November. The date's not set in stone yet, because as has been our experience, last minute delays happen, that totally throw off project plans.

In the mean time, we have continued to refine the menu based on feedback from friends, family and some blind samplings. It's amazing how fruits can become so delicious when turned into milkshakes and smoothies. For example, an apple is good to taste, but not enough to make you crave one everyday. But an apple shake - simply yummy - you'll feel like you can't have enough of it! We're including that one in our menu so that you can see for yourself what I mean:)

That apart, with your support, our community of members on Facebook has been growing steadily. If you haven't joined our page yet, I'd love for you to do so. Simply click here. As we start our operations we'd welcome feedback from you.

We're also on twitter. Join us for fun updates on fruits, nutrition and wellness.

That's it for now. I'll be back with more updates soon!

Back to work!

So after a brief hiatus due to the Durga Puja festival here in Kolkata, when the whole city literally shuts down to celebrate, work is on full swing for The Juice Station.

Fleet customization, design. artwork is all on simultaneously. As of now, if nothing extraordinary comes up, delivery will be next Monday. From then on, we'll be adding final touches, tie-up loose ends and we'll be all set to launch!
