Josh Adams is the founder of Adams Apple Juice Bar & Café. At 19 years old, he also owns and runs the business in Mansfield, PA. In this community, he recognized a growing need over time of somewhere for people to go, hang out, and socialize. In addition to this, there was also a good portion of the community with dietary restrictions. Looking to fulfill this need, Adams Apple Juice Bar & Café came to town.
When looking for ideas, Josh went to the college in that town to see what would be most useful for the students there. Offering various smoothies, juices, and waffles, the juice bar and café is completely gluten and dairy free, offering a healthy, all natural option to whoever wants to come and hang out. There are games to play and records to listen to, giving a great atmosphere for just spending time with friends. The juice bar shares the building with a contact sports club, making it a healthy and convenient option for those who come for a workout.
It’s all summed up in the mission statement:
“To provide ethical, healthy, and delicious food and drink options for the local community that address the majority of restrictive diets and to offer a welcoming atmosphere for all.”
I actually know Josh personally because I live in Mansfield! I’m proud of him for starting this type of cafe in town! It’s a business that doesn’t exist anywhere nearby, and it’s clear that he is very passionate about what he’s doing!
