Main Squeeze Juice Co. and Conscious Capital Growth continue the expansion of this New Orleans-based brand by awarding the Arizona region to Don Gatzemeier and Shawnae Stollenwerk, two franchisees who will open more than 30 locations nationwide with the help of local franchisees.

Main Squeeze Juice Co. plans to open more than 30 stores in the Arizona region as well, including Scottsdale, Phoenix, Tucson, Flagstaff and Prescott.

Gatzemeier owns and operates the Elements Massage, Amazing Lash Studio and Club Pilates locations. By adding Main Squeeze as a regional developer, he and Stollenwerk, area managers of its Amazing Lash Studio locations, will bring extensive business expertise to this company and franchisee-winning businesses.

Thomas Nieto, CEO of Main Squeeze, said in a press release, “I’m confident that Arizona residents will love Main Squeeze as much as people in Louisiana, Texas, Missouri, Mississippi and Florida do. Main Squeeze’s lifestyle is life changing. We look forward to expanding our national footprint and offering more people convenient, healthy options. We’re ready to attract more angry fans who can’t help but spread the word.”

With consumers’ renewed focus on health and wellness, 100% plant-based, cold-pressed juices, then smoothies, bowls and toasts are in demand more than ever in Arizona and across the country, a press release stated.

“Main Squeeze fits perfectly,” Gatzemeier said in the release. “We couldn’t believe how easy and delicious healthy eating can be, and the home office team at Main Squeeze really impressed us. They love what they do and the positive energy was everywhere.”

“My passion is driving franchise success and providing career opportunities within the community. Even better, with Main Squeeze we can also make people healthier,” Stollenwerk said in the release.

“Don and Shawnae are perfect partners thanks to their track record as franchise companies. They will be great ambassadors for making health easier across Arizona,” said Scott Schubiger, chief growth officer of Main Squeeze.
