Two twenty somethings Claire (operations director) and Charlie Scanlan (managing director) started jump juice bars when they opened their first store in Waterford in August 2003. Both advocates of healthy eating they found it  difficult to find a healthy alternative to traditional fast food when outside the home. So following some international  research (long holiday) to see some of the best in class juice bars operating in America, Canada and Australia they made the Jump and have not looked back since.

Two thirty somethings+ Denise and Conor Phelan joined Jump juice bars as  directors in 2004. Denise and Conor established the Cork based Phelans chain of pharmacies. Having sold a number of their pharmacies they saw Jump juice bars as the perfect way to diversify their interests into something that promoted a healthy and active lifestyle much like their own.
