Nékter Juice Bar is celebrating its newest San Joaquin County location this weekend.
The 1,120-square-foot juice shop will open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 29, at 165 Commerce Ave., Suite 106, with a grand opening and ribbon cutting event with the Manteca Chamber of Commerce.
"Opening Nékter in Manteca is about so much more than serving smoothies and bowls," said Kaur Khinda, owner of the Manteca Nékter Juice Bar. "It’s about creating a place where people can make healthier choices without sacrificing convenience or flavor. I wanted to bring something to my hometown that I truly believe in something that helps people feel their best while bringing our community together.”
Aside from being an entrepreneur, Khinda is also a veterinary
student.
"As a young businesswoman, I hope this store inspires others to believe that age should never limit ambition," Khinda said. "Manteca has given so much to me, and this is my opportunity to give something meaningful back. My goal is for Nékter to become more than a juice bar I want it to be a place where our community comes together to embrace healthier living, support one another, and create lasting connections."
Saturday's celebration will feature grand opening offers like $5 small smoothies available all day. The first 100 guests who make a purchase of $15 or more will also receive a free signature Nékter tote bag. This location will also hold a raffle, one guest will win free Nékter Juice Bar for one month.
The Manteca location is the second Nékter Juice Bar in San Joaquin County, with the first location opening at Lincoln Center in Stockton.
