A Fremont Man Wanted To Build A 'Community-Focused Space.' So He Invested In A Juice Bar

FREMONT, CA — Rahul Bhatt says that in the many years since he's lived in Fremont, the city has lacked healthy, accessible food options.

So Bhatt took it upon himself to invest in a product he says would change that: a Nékter Juice Bar.

"I was drawn to Nékter because of its commitment to clean, real ingredients — no artificial flavors, no processed sugars, just fresh juices, smoothies, and bowls made the way they should be," Bhatt told Patch. "As a father of two daughters, that philosophy really resonated with me."

Bhatt's Nékter Juice Bar at the Warm Springs Plaza has been open for a soft launch since earlier this month, as Bhatt finishes some "fine-tuning operations" and trains staff.

On Saturday, Jan. 3, the juice bar will have its official grand opening event from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. There will be $5 small smoothies all day, raffles and giveaways for a chance to win a free month of Nékter and free face painting for kids, among other activities and offers, Bhatt said.

Bhatt says he hopes Nékter will be more than an investment, looking instead for it to become a "community-focused space" for Fremont residents of all ages and other businesses.

“People here care about what they put into their bodies," Bhatt said. "Our goal
is to make healthy living easy, accessible, and enjoyable for everyone."

Bhatt's Nékter Juice Bar is located at 46583 Mission Blvd. in Fremont.
