MIDDLETOWN — On their frequent trips through the city, first-time business owners Patrick Dwyer and Jillian Webber noticed that Middletown’s downtown area was missing something— a health-centric juice bar.
It was always a dream of Webber’s to open a business, and now that dream has materialized. “I still can’t believe it,” she said.
After nine months of renovations, the couple was finally ready for the soft opening of CleanHeart Juice Bar in July, at the site of a former tailoring shop.
Renovations at the property, located at 80 Washington St., included electrical work, extending the bathroom, improving the walls and ceiling, upgrading the decor, and more. “We decided to do it ourselves,” Dwyer said.
Webber said that business has been increasing. “Now, we’re seeing more regulars come back, which is nice,” she said.
CleanHeart offers healthy snacks, teas, smoothies, smoothie bowls and cold-pressed juices. The latter is what Webber thinks separates their restaurant from other similar establishments in the region.
“It’s just a better, cleaner juice that keeps more of the nutrients,” she said.
Creating custom juices is something Webber and Dwyer have plenty of experience with. “We’ve both been into it since before it was a fad,” Webber said.
Offerings include sea moss gel, juices, such as beet, apple, spinach and aloe water; ginger, orange, carrot, apple and aloe water; and pineapple, watermelon and coconut water.
Dwyer said owning the business is also an opportunity to give back to the community. This includes discounts, special events, and giving away any juice or ingredients nearing their expiration dates. “We always want to give back,” he said.
Webber said that they are working with the Middlesex County Chamber of Commerce to organize a grand opening celebration in the near future.
The duo is also looking for more opportunities for locally sourced products, and asks that anyone interested in showcasing their wares to reach out through social media.
Hours are Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
