Nékter Juice Bar Recognized by Newsweek as One of America’s Favorite Restaurant Chains with Top, Five-Star Rating

Unlike several other juice bar concepts recognized in this year’s awards program, Nékter Juice Bar also received a top, five-star rating as the result of Newsweek’s survey of more than 4,000 customers and employees at restaurant chains across the country. This year, there were 220 winners in 16 categories chosen among the more than 100,000 restaurant brands in the U.S.

“With more than 100,000 restaurant chains in the country, it is truly an honor to be recognized as a national favorite,” said Steve Schulze, co-founder and CEO, Nékter Juice Bar. “Moreover, this award stems from a survey of guests and employees, which means the world to us. As we continue to grow our presence around the country, we will never waiver from our core values of menu transparency and ingredient-integrity.”

The America's Favorite Restaurant Chains 2022 list highlights the nation’s top restaurant chains based on an independent survey of American restaurant customers and employees. In total, over 35,000 evaluations were collected. Participants were asked to rate restaurants on 10 evaluating criteria: Taste of Food, Cleanliness, Hygiene, Transparency, Location, COVID-19, Environment, Accessibility, Service Quality, and Treatment of Employees.

Since opening its first location in 2010, Nékter has received recognition from multiple leading business and restaurant industry authorities such as Franchise Times, Nation’s Restaurant News, QSR Magazine, Restaurant Business, and more. Most recently, Nékter was named to the Entrepreneur 2021 Top Food Franchises list and earned a spot on the Inc. 5000 Honor Roll, reserved only for companies named to the Inc. 500 at least five times.

“My association with Nékter had been the best decision of my life, and I am proud to represent a brand that is the perfect blend of health and wellness,” said Amit Wadhera, a Nékter franchise partner with seven locations in California. “Nékter genuinely cares about its franchisees and goes the extra mile to help and support them. I would love to continue to grow with Nékter, a company that has such high standards of integrity. I am lucky to be part of the Nékter family!”
