Jack and Tracy Groot owned and operated a coffee bar in Holland, Michigan, when the location next door became available. To take advantage of the opportunity, the couple developed and opened Rubyjuice, offering quick-service smoothies, juices, sandwiches and salads. The menu includes a variety of nutritional supplements that customers may add to their smoothies. Rubyjuice began franchising in 2003.
