minneapoli - Minnesota’s first Black-owned juice bar was broken into overnight for the second time since it officially opened less than a month ago.
The Dripping Root, located at the intersection of Minnehaha Avenue and 40th Street in Minneapolis, was first vandalized just five days after it opened. In an Instagram post, owner Catiesha Pierson said that was the beginning of several issues she’s had to endure since.
Black-owned juice bar broken into just days after opening in south Minneapolis
Minnesota’s first Black-owned juice bar was vandalized overnight, forcing it to close just days after its grand opening.
Pierson said she got a hateful letter in the mail a few days ago, and now her business was broken into again. She vented her frustrations on social media, writing that she is "just trying to keep it all together."
First Black-owned juice bar opens in South Minneapolis
Catiesha Pierson started making her own juice as a way to get her son to eat more fruits and vegetables. She would post her creations on Instagram and people started taking notice. Eventually, she started making and delivering fresh-pressed juices for friends and family when she wasn’t working at her full-time job. It became her passion and she decided to pursue it, quitting her job and signing a lease on a space in South Minneapolis. Pierson opened The Dripping Root last week at the intersection of Minnehaha Ave & 40th St. She sold out every single day. Her top-seller is the Nipsey Drip which is made up of passion fruit, guava, lemon, pineapple, Blue Majik and apple.
Pierson got her start making fresh-pressed juices for her friends and family. Two years ago, she quit her full-time job to pursue her passion after her juice creations started taking off on Instagram. She has sold out nearly every day since opening.
