A juice and ice cream shop focused on natural and healthy fruit juice and sweet treat options is expected to come to the Sunrise Village, Sunrise Marketplace Executive Director Kathilynn Carpenter confirmed.
International fruit-juice shop Juice Time is expected to move in as a tenant in between Starbucks and Firehouse Subs on the southern end of Sunrise Village, Carpenter said. As of Wednesday, the suite’s window shows a “Coming Soon” sign with Juice Time’s logo beneath.
Juice Time, which goes by Aseer Time internationally, focuses on offering customers healthy fruit juice drinks, sweet treats, and ice cream with natural fruit ingredients, according to its website.
Originating in Kuwait in 2011, Aseer Time has grown into a global franchise with over 470 branches across the Middle East, Europe, and North America. Their offerings include juices, ice creams, and desserts, and they operate under the Aseer Time Group, which encompasses multiple brands such as Papa Kanafa and Burgerat.
Tiffany Clement with MerloneGeier Partners said the smoothie shop is expected to open at the end of 2025.
The Sunrise Village has seen several businesses come and go in recent years, including the departure of fabric giant JOANN as the company shuttered hundreds of stores across the nation following bankruptcy.
In spite of the closure of JOANN, several other new tenants are expected to come to Sunrise Village, including Pinkberry, which is expected to open this summer, and Nothing Bundt Cakes, which is expected to open in 2026, according to an update from Clement.
Grocery Outlet also has plans to open in the building that formerly held Rite Aid, but no anticipated date of opening was immediately available.
