The Juice Pod, a fast-growing, health-focused franchise, will open its 24th location in Rittenhouse Square on Saturday, April 11, 2026. The opening aligns with a major milestone for the brand, marking its 10th year in business and the debut of its 10th corporate-owned store.
Founded in 2016 by Danielle Leonhardt in Avalon, New Jersey, The Juice Pod began as a single storefront down the shore. The brand later expanded with the addition of her sister, Christine Wyatt, and has since grown into a multi-location business with a strong presence across Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and has recently expanded into Florida and North Carolina. The brand is on track to reach 31 locations, with additional franchise locations planned to open later this year in Doylestown, PA; Newark, DE; Marlton, NJ; Jersey City, NJ; and Indiana.
The Juice Pod offers a menu of high-quality, nutrient-focused options, including cold-pressed juices, superfood smoothies, acai bowls, salads, wraps, wellness shots, toasts, and rotating seasonal items.
“We opened our first store in Avalon ten years ago with a clear vision of creating a menu that not only tastes good, but also makes you feel good,” said founder Danielle Leonhardt. “Reaching our 10th corporate store in our 10th year is a meaningful milestone for us, and Rittenhouse feels like the right place to continue that growth.”
The Rittenhouse Square location represents a continued investment in Philadelphia and will be the brand’s second storefront in the city, alongside the existing location inside the Comcast Center at 1701 John F Kennedy Blvd, Philadelphia, PA 19103. Positioned to serve both neighborhood regulars and visitors to the area, the new Rittenhouse store is designed to bring convenient access to healthy options in the heart of the square.
“We are excited to join the Rittenhouse community,” added Christine Wyatt. “The neighborhood has a strong dining scene, and we saw an opportunity for more quick-service, healthy options.”
To celebrate the opening, The Juice Pod will host a social media giveaway leading up to launch. Customers can follow @juice_pod_ on Instagram for updates and details on how to participate.
On opening day, Saturday, April 11, the first 50 customers will receive a complimentary Coco Crush, a newly added smoothie featuring pineapple, orange, coconut, coconut water, vanilla collagen, Blue Majik, and a pitaya swirl.
