Pressed Juicery Accelerates Store Closures While Shifting to Grocery and Digital Channels

Pressed Juicery, the California-based cold-pressed juice chain, is closing multiple company-owned locations across the United States. Recent reports confirm the shutdown of its sole Seattle store in lower Queen Anne, two North Texas sites inside the Uptown Eats food hall on Live Oak Street in Dallas, and additional outlets in Washington, D.C., Sacramento, and other markets. The company has not disclosed the total number of stores slated for closure, and the permanence of the Dallas Uptown Eats site remains uncertain.

Industry observers note that shoppers increasingly discover Pressed products through grocery retailers, digital ordering platforms, and on-demand delivery services rather than walking into standalone stores. This shift has prompted the brand to reallocate resources toward wholesale partnerships with retailers such as Costco, Sprouts Farmers Market, Target, Albertsons, Safeway, and Ralphs, as well as its own online ordering system.

A company spokesperson told WFAA and MyNorthwest that the closures reflect “a significant change in how customers shop.” The spokesperson emphasized that the decision aims to “redirect resources toward grocery partnerships, digital ordering, and delivery services” while preserving a “strategic presence in key markets where our stores continue to play an important role.” The spokesperson also expressed gratitude to employees, noting that “these decisions are never easy.”
