I just noticed the verbage that says they paid thousands of dollars to the University of Illinois at Chicago to help put together the formula recipes have been altered. A wise move since the University has a cease and desist order saying they were not involved in any way in the formulas and Beyond Juice Inc.


Paraphrase from http://www.beyondjuice.com/aboutus.htm
The results were the development of unique multi-formulas, each designed to address specific nutritional requirements. These powdered formulas are our "Basic Blend". It is now officially categorized and represented to the American public as a "Meal In A Cup." The originally founded company was called "Pure Energy, The Drink and Nutrition Center." The first unit opened in November of 1989 at the State of Illinois Center, Chicago, Illinois. The business was a smashing success. Other locations were opened at the Merchandise Mart and the North Western Train Station in Chicago as well as the Peach Tree Center in downtown Atlanta.

Beyond Juice? Good Investment?

Beyond Juice was not for me and and six others in Northern California and Nevada.

If you Google 'Beyond Juice scam' you'll discover there are ten states that have cease and desist orders against beyond juice selling franchises or licenses in their states. If you step down through this beyond juice blog you'll find most of the links to courts or information services that document that.

The folks that own the beyond juice stores put out good service and products, please try hem, but really do your research. Beyond juice was not right for me and six other folks.

When I started the beyond juice blog I hoped other former owners would share their stories?

Apparently Morrie Friedman violated the 2005 order

I wondered why Morrie never had mony to complete my store or send me my furniture.
