    About Booster Juice

    We are, beyond a doubt, the fastest growing juice bar in all of Canada. Market share and enormous buying power are already increasing the profit opportunity for our partner/franchise owners and our corporate locations. The public has waited for such a long time to have healthy alternatives to fast food. How about something other than cheeseburgers and fries. How about fruit? The Canadian Dietary Association recommends 5 servings of fruits and vegetables per day and that's just what we bring you in one of our 24 oz. smoothies. Our concept is geared to the active lifestyles of the public. Smoothies are ideal as meals on the run, power breakfasts, energy enhancers, workout snacks and afternoon treats. It's no wonder why the Juice and Smoothie Bar sector is growing at an annual rate of 30% while the fast food sector is growing at a rate of 3%. The public embraces alternatives when the concept is solid and the product exceptional. And our product is right in tune with what the customer is demanding-- healthy alternatives to fast food.

    About All American Specialty Restaurants

    In the mid-1980s, frozen yogurt was growing in popularity, but there were no shops in the major malls of Idaho, Oregon and Washington serving the treat. Seeing the demand for such shops in the Pacific Northwest, CR Duffie Jr. started the All American Frozen Yogurt Co. in Portland in 1986. The company began franchising one year later.

    To reach a larger customer base, ice cream was added to the menu in 1989, and the stores became known as

    All American Ice Cream and Frozen Yogurt Shops.   There are now locations in shopping centers throughout the Pacific Northwest and West.
