History
The founder of Boost Juice Bars, Janine Allis, noticed the fad of the juice bar when on holiday in the United States. Along with her husband, Janine decided to bring the idea to Australia. In 2000, the first store opened in Adelaide. Two years later, it was reported that a new store was opening every four days and became the fastest growing franchise chain in the country.
In May 2006, Boost Juice Bars ceased operations in New Zealand after the franchiser (which operated all the New Zealand stores) was put into liquidation. The stores were sold to Tank Juice who are now operating them under the Tank brand.
In 2007, the founders of Millies Cookies, Richard O’Sullivan & Mario Budwig, signed an agreement with Boost Juice Bars to launch the brand in the United Kingdom. By the end of the year, the company had also expanded into Chile, Kuwait, Singapore and Indonesia and most recently Thailand.
In 2008, Nestlé launched a range of fruit smoothies in association with Boost Juice Bars, to operate alongside the company's expansion into the United Kingdom
In 2011 Boost Juice got into a franchise agreement for India with entrepreneurs Rivoli Sinha and Dev Agarwal, the directors of Joost Food Ventures Pvt. Ltd.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Every generation rewrites the past. In easy times history is more or less of an ornamental art, but in times of danger we are driven to the written record by a pressing need to find answers to the riddles of today.... In times of change and danger when there is a quicksand of fear under men’s reasoning, a sense of continuity with generations gone before can stretch like a lifeline across the scary present and get us past that idiot delusion of the exceptional Now that blocks good thinking.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“Like their personal lives, women’s history is fragmented, interrupted; a shadow history of human beings whose existence has been shaped by the efforts and the demands of others.”
—Elizabeth Janeway (b. 1913)
“The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
