Store Manager

Description

About REALGOOD STUFF CO.:

On August 15, 2014, we opened our doors in Old Town to make Chicago healthier. A lot has happened since those doors first opened. REALGOOD STUFF CO. now has 13 locations throughout the Chicagoland area and Michigan. We not only make real good juices and smoothies, but food too! Much has changed, but the brand vision remains the same: make real food that’s good for you because food and drink should be both real and good.

We focus on working with several local farmers to find the freshest ingredients available. In fact, there are three pounds of cold pressed, responsibly grown fruits and vegetables in every bottle of juice!
