# Pure Green Franchise > Pure Green is a cold-pressed juice, superfood smoothie, and acai bowl franchise founded in New York City in 2014 by Ross Franklin. The brand is ranked in Entrepreneur's Franchise 500 and is a 2024 Inc. 5000 honoree. Its wholesale affiliate supplies cold-pressed juice to professional sports teams and the U.S. military, and its menu is guided by a Nutritional Advisory Board that includes registered dietitians from professional sports teams and the U.S. military. Franchisees run compact, small-footprint stores supplied by a centralized cold-pressed juice supply chain, so there is no on-site juice manufacturing. The company has 200+ locations open and in development across 25+ states. Pure Green's franchise thesis: real nutrition, simple operations. Cold-pressed juice arrives pre-bottled at wholesale pricing, which keeps buildout costs and labor low while keeping product quality consistent across every location. Each store is locally owned by a franchisee who becomes a health advocate for their community. ## Verified franchise facts Figures below are as disclosed in Pure Green's 2026 Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD).
