Kwench Juice is getting ready to pour its first Orlando drinks this spring, with a grand opening targeted for April 2026 at 12648 S Orange Blossom Trail. The incoming café will be run by husband-and-wife franchisees Ray and Dennese Martinez, who the company says are bringing their Bronx-born entrepreneurial chops to central Florida. Kwench describes its concept as “refreshingly healthy,” built around made-to-order juices, smoothies, and açaí bowls that skip unnecessary sugars and artificial flavors. The shop is set to land on a busy stretch of South Orange Blossom Trail already packed with national chains and homegrown businesses.
In a PR Newswire press release, founder Chris Gregoris officially announced the Orlando café and confirmed Ray and Dennese Martinez as the franchise owners. Ray Martinez told the company the area is overdue for healthier grab-and-go options, saying, “The health and wellness space is limited in the area,” according to the release. The announcement leans heavily on Kwench’s focus on natural ingredients and clear ingredient lists. It also outlines franchise contact details and the corporate support system that the company says it offers new owners.
Prime Trail Plaza Puts Kwench In The Flow
The address at 12648 S Orange Blossom Trail sits in a sizeable retail plaza along a heavily traveled commercial corridor, a setup that could feed a steady stream of customers to a quick-service café on both weekdays and weekends. A Chipotle location listing shows a restaurant at the same plaza, suggesting the site already pulls in both drivers and walk-in traffic. With that kind of retail mix, a health-forward concept like Kwench may find it easier to build a lunchtime and snack-time crowd.
Franchise Playbook Meets Local Owners
Kwench promotes a franchise model with locations across the country, and its locations page lists Orlando as a market “coming soon.” Company franchising materials say new owners receive training, access to contractor networks, and guidance on lining up local vendors to open and run their cafés. The PR Newswire release also shares franchise contact information, including [email protected] and 857-928-9096, and features co-owner Dennese Martinez thanking the wider Kwench network for its backing. That blend of corporate playbook and local ownership is the pitch the brand is taking into central Florida…
