After years of quietly manufacturing and selling health-focused juice blends throughout the area, Danielle Marshall has officially opened the doors of her new storefront: Danie’s Natural Juice Bar & Wellness Suite, located at 388 Forest Blvd. in Park Forest.

Danie’s Natural Juice Bar & Wellness Suite is open Tuesday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. In addition to walk-in service, pre-orders are available on the business’s website, and soon, deliveries will be offered through Uber Eats.
