Frequently, Goodnature customers struggle to find reliable suppliers for the things they need beyond the juice equipment, and if they can find them, the ordering process can be difficult and hard to maneuver. For years, I've been pondering the idea of offering an online marketplace that Goodnature customers can use to find all of the regularly needed items for their juice bar, and order everything with a couple of mouse clicks all in the same shopping cart.
A couple of years ago, we experimented with the business model by partnering with Captiva Containers to offer premium juice bottles for sale on our website. We invested a lot of time and money into developing the easiest-to-use ordering process for commercial quantities of juice bottles available anywhere. No longer do juice companies have to deal with getting quotes, sending PO's, negotiating pricing, dealing with freight carriers, etc...
Captiva has done a great job on their end by working with us on offering transparent pricing, timely shipments, and excellent customer service. When bottles are ordered on our website, the order goes straight to Captiva and they handle the rest of the fulfillment process.
The experiment proved to be extremely successful, with a ton of juice companies ordering bottles through our website monthly by the case or pallet. So, in 2021 I started the work on a new website with a team of developers that has the ability to scale the business model to an unlimited amount of products and suppliers.
We finally launched the new website in January. Starting soon, you will begin to see us onboarding some of your favorite suppliers (and some you haven't heard of yet, but will LOVE). Customers based in the US will have quick and easy access to a specially curated list of premium brands offering wholesale quantities of their products.

I’ve been around juicing all my life. My Dad built his first hydraulic juice press in 1976 and founded the company Goodnature Products, Inc. I have incredible memories of having “cider parties” when we would invite all the people in our rural neighborhood over to make apple juice. To this day, when I taste apple juice made on a Goodnature press, a rush of nostalgia runs through my body.
I pride myself on guiding our clients into the world of cold-pressed juice and showing them how much fun this industry can be. I love talking business, technology, and marketing. My missions is to carry on my Dad's goal - one day make Goodnature a house-hold name.

That is great new! Way to go Goodnature🙏🏽
Will your marketplace include products from Good Start Packaging?
I am interested frozen young coconut meat and frozen coconut juice to make coconut smoothies and it makes a great base for smoothie bowls and also coconut yogurt. Perhaps you can look into carrying a probiotic powder or culture to make the yogurt! Thank you for taking suggestions!!
Great idea
Will this marketplace be available in Canada?
In the beginning it will only be available in the US, but we hope to expand it in the future.
I’ve been following for about 2 years now . I am overjoyed that you will have a market . I can’t wait to order .
I am currently juicing from home looking for brick and mortar. I am saving so I can get a goodnature. I am leaning more towards juice on demand. I love terrasoul products 😄
Hi iam very happy because I star my business on juciebar
Congrats and so excited to see this! Hoping to see lots of organic, plantbased, gluten-free options. Eco-friendly packaging would be awesome, too. Excited for you all.
Love this, how convenient!
What a great idea, Charlie. This will be very helpful.
This is great to hear! I run a small coffee/juice shop combo & I’ve been searching the market for a better bottle supplier. Can’t wait to see what you guys have to offer! 🙂
Terrasoul products
This is the best news EVER!!!! Yay!!!!
Would love to see the packaging options to include glass bottles (8oz - 16oz) and not just the single use plastic bottles 😄!
Will your market place have glass bottles. We now use Stanpac, customers love them
This is amazing! This would be so helpful not only for myself but for everyone who has a juicebar. As far as labels? How would that be ? And the packaging would be so helpful, operating a small juicebar it’s hard invest a big amount on packaging . That would be very helpful if I could keep buying 1 kind of bag and 1 kind of straws I’m tired of searching webstuarant and amazon ! Im so excited !!!
This is amazing !!! Would love to be apart of this
