New juice bar squeezes into Route 64 storefront in St. Charles

Extract Juicery now is serving fresh-pressed juices, smoothies and other healthy options on St. Charles’ Main Street (Route 64).

The Wheaton-based juice shop has expanded into St. Charles and is open in the former Clean Juice storefront at 1970 W. Main St. Hours are 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.

Extract Juicery will host a weekend-long grand opening from Dec. 2 to 4. Guests will get to taste free samples, win prizes and meet the owner.

Kevin Walker opened the first Extract Juicery in Wheaton in 2021. He said the St. Charles location marks Extract’s first expansion into the western suburbs.

Extract Juicery is a juice and smoothie bar that sets itself apart by using only cold-pressed, organic fruits and vegetables. The cold-press process is used to preserve the nutritional quality of the juice.

In addition to juices and smoothies, Extract Juicery will serve acai bowls, wellness shots, toast, open-faced sandwiches, salads and gluten-free brownies.

On Dec. 2, the first 50 guests in line at 8 a.m. will receive a $50 rewards credit with any purchase.

There will be free pictures with Santa from 2 to 4 p.m. Dec. 2.

Throughout the weekend, the store will hold free raffles for prizes, including a year’s supply of smoothies, free cleanses, gift cards, a Lululemon gift packet, an Apple watch and a Louis Vuitton wallet.

Samples of gourmet toasts, smoothies and cold-pressed juices will be available for customers waiting in line.

Customers can order ahead on the Extract Juicery app or website for quick grab-and-go service.

The St. Charles Chamber of Commerce will host a ribbon-cutting for the juice bar at 4:30 p.m. Dec. 4.
