What Makes us Different

What Makes us Different

We absolutely LOVE what we do!  Our company was founded because we have personally experienced how juicing and healthy eating can change how you feel from the inside out.

 

Here are a few things that make us different and unique:

 

FAMILY OWNED AND OPERATED 

That means that we only accept the same high-quality ingredients for our customers that we demand for our own family and children. We are hands-on owners which makes us feel more connected to our customers, many of whom have become our friends.

CUSTOMER SERVICE IS NUMBER 1 – We mean it! 

Customer service is one of our top priorities. We always value our customers and appreciate them.  Our friendly and knowledgeable staff are ready to assist you at our three locations and over the phone. This is more than just buying juice, it’s about the positive experience we want to create for you.  We also have a live chat agent, who is also a registered holistic nutritionist, on our website ready to answer any questions that you may have.  Nutrition, your order, health, anything really!

MADE WITH LOVE

Remember when your mama always told you to put your heart into everything that you do? Well we love what we do so much that we pour our heart into it everyday! This is reflected in the way our juices and food taste. Our juicing press runs daily with the same team of dedicated family and friends that ensure the quality of every single bottle.  

NUTRITIONIST DESIGNED 

Our juices are created by a Registered Holistic Nutritionist (RHN).  This means that the ingredients that go into each flavour are carefully selected based on the benefits it is intended to provide.  

 

QUALITY FROM START TO FINISH

Made fresh to order.   We juice in small batches daily to ensure our customers receive freshly made juices all the time.  You can rest assure that your juices were made FRESH and haven’t been sitting on a shelf for weeks or even months!

 

NO PASTEURIZATION, NO UV LIGHT, NO HPP 

What does this stuff mean anyways? Well the short of it…it subjects the juice to some sort of processing that kills off any potential bacteria.  In doing so it also kills off any good bacteria, enzymes and some essential vitamins and nutrients that are essential for digestion and other processes in your body.  We don’t add anything else or process the juice any other way after juicing it.  We simply juice, bottle and deliver to your doorstep the very night day.  

Pasteurization is a process in which you heat the juice to a very high temperature to kill off any potential bacteria.  While doing so, you also kill any enzymes that your body uses as well as essential vitamins and nutrients. UV light, and high pressure pasteurization don’t use heat but still kill off some vitamins and minerals in the juice.

 

CERTIFIED ORGANIC

Our 20+ juices are certified organic by Ecocert Canada.  Your health is very important to us, therefore we only use the best organic ingredients for our juices.

 

GLASS BOTTLE PACKAGING 

Reducing our environmental impact is at the forefront in many decisions we make at Green Press.  All of our bottles are glass bottles that we can reuse.  Glass Bottles, therefore NO WASTE.  We use compostable packaging for our food items in-store in order to reduce our waste.  This means higher packaging costs for us as a business, but we believe it’s worth it.

 

BOTTLE RECYCLING & LOYALTY POINTS

We reward our customers for bringing back their glass bottles so that we can help keep the environment clean and green.  Customers also collect 1% off all their in store purchases back onto their account to be used for future purchases.  Check out our bottle recycling program and how many points you get back per bottle depending on size.

Hello Friends! A Message from our Founders

Hello Friends!

Wow, seems like it’s taken us forever to finally get a blog! We know we’re late to the game, but now that we are here you’ll be hearing a lot more from us. Get ready because our blogs are going to be AWE-Some! We’ve had 5 years to prep! If you trying to live a healthier and well-balanced lifestyle and don’t know where to start, you’ve come to the right place.  We plan to talk about health, wellness, juicing, success stories, fitness, healthy recipes, and more! You can subscribe to our newsletter to receive updates about new blog posts.

Since this is our first blog post we wanted to start by introducing ourselves, our products, and our goal. We would also like to welcome you if you’re new and have never met us before.  We really do value and appreciate all of our customers, whom have become our friends. Thank you for all your support and amazing reviews. Let’s begin!!

Who we are:

Green Press is a family owned and operated organic cold pressed juice & food bar. We founded the company in June 2014 and opened our first juice bar location in October 2014.  Founded by Samar Harb, a Registered Holistic Nutritionist and Suhail Taji, a Finance Professional who have a shared passion for health and wellness. We quickly grew and opened up our second store in Toronto at the Yonge-Bloor subway station PATH.  Our juices grew in popularity and made it possible for us to open our third location in Port Credit Mississauga.

(Our Grand Opening in October 2014 in Downtown Oakville)

Our Products (Organic Cold Pressed Juices, Healthy Food and Online Groceries):

All of our juices are designed by our team of Registered Holistic Nutritionists.  Our juices are certified organic by Ecocert Canada.  We do not pasteurize our products, nor do we add any nasty chemicals, additives or preservatives to extend shelf life.  We know, many of our competitors have gone the route of High Pressure Pasteurization (HPP) or UV light to extend shelf life, but we decided to stay true to our core belief and our original product.  We simply make the juice, immediately bottle it in glass bottles, and deliver it to your doorstep the very next morning.  Our customers receive the same high-quality ingredients that we demand for our own family and children.

We have grown to meet the needs of our customers and added nutritious meals to our menu to allow our customers to enjoy delicious meals without compromising on health or quality. Our in-store menu has a variety of different healthy food options like power bowls, wraps, toasts, smoothies, acai bowls and salads.

Since the pandemic started in March 2020 this year we have had to pivot and change some of the ways our company operates.  I’m sure everyone can relate!  We started to offer our customers fresh organic grocery delivery.  We had an astonishing number of people who were interested so we kept it on our site and part of our business model to offer fresh organic groceries and pantry items to our customers.  It makes it possible for us to be your one stop shop! It also allows you to reach the minimum for free delivery quite easily by adding a few juices and some essentials from our grocery section.

Our Goal

We want to help people live healthier lives through effective means of nourishment. We also deeply care about the environment so we recycle our glass bottles   We aim to provide high quality food and juices that also taste delicious and change people’s perspective on “healthy food” not being flavourful or delicious.  We want our customers to experience the same uplift in health, mental & physical wellbeing, and energy as we have experienced by living a healthy balanced life.  Our exceptional customer service, outstanding quality, and high-density nutrition are at the forefront of anything we do.

Our mission is to help our communities live healthier lifestyles through the provision of clean, nutritious eats, and an active lifestyle.

Thank you for following along our journey and we hope you will find our blog fun and informative!

With love,

Samar & Suhail
