Robeks opens new location in Buckeye
IN THE BIZ
The destination for creative fresh smoothies, juices and acai bowls, Robeks opened a new location in Buckeye on Dec. 16. Owned and operated by Gregory and Deborah Soyka, the new Robeks store is in the Sundance Town Center, 430 S. Watson Road, just south of I-10. The Buckeye Robeks employs about 20 people and is the fifth location in Arizona. This is the second Robeks for the Soykas, who discovered the valuable health benefits of fresh juices and smoothies when their daughter was diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder more than 15 years ago. Smoothies with their high-quality nutrition, antioxidants and other anti-inflammatory benefits became an important part of improving their daughter’s health, and soon smoothies became the family business.

The Soykas opened their first Robeks in 2008, and their daughter became one of their most ardent ambassadors, working at the store for years. She is now 26, healthy and working as a dental hygienist. “We are thrilled to open Robeks in Buckeye to bring healthy smoothies, juices and acai bowls to this growing community,” Gregory said. “Our family knows first-hand the importance of good nutrition and the value of good health, and we look forward to sharing Robeks’ healthy options with new guests.” The menu includes the strawnana berry smoothie with strawberries, banana, nonfat frozen yogurt and apple juice. The 800 LB Gorilla Smoothie features banana, peanut butter, nonfat frozen yogurt, soy milk, chocolate and 40 grams of whey protein. Tropi-Kale has fresh kale, pineapple, pineapple sherbet, nonfat frozen yogurt and papaya juice and is packed with immunity-boosting vitamin C. In addition to smoothies, juices and bowls, guests can add wellness shots of wheatgrass, lemon ginger or turmeric. Robeks recently added snacks, like avocado and acai almond butter toast. Robeks will celebrate its official grand opening on Saturday, Jan. 15. For the new Buckeye store hours, visit robeks.com and follow Robeks on so(USPS 004-616) is published weekly
