# 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 trusted by professional athletes across the NBA, NFL, NHL, and MLB, as well as 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).
