Store Manager - JFK Airport

WHY WORK AT JOE & THE JUICE

JOE & THE JUICE is a people‑centric food and beverage company built around culture, not just juice, sandwiches, coffee, and more. We believe in four simple virtues that shape everything we do: Positive Attitude Inclusion Social Ties Growth When you choose a cup‑half‑full mindset, welcome people from every background, build real friendships across the bar by creating great guest experiences, and use every shift as a chance to learn something new—you become more than just a Juicer; you continue to search and find purpose and meaning in what you do. From your first day, you'll be part of an international network of Juicers who support each other, celebrate wins together, and push each other to grow. You will learn by doing, move through a clear Moneyball career path, and be part of a company where most leaders have earned their stripes behind the bar (over 75% of our employees started as Juicers). If you love fast‑paced service, music, people, and the idea of turning a job into a lifestyle, JOE can become a place to build skills, friendships, and a career that can take you across cities, countries, and roles.
