About Us

"Relax and enjoy your Juice Stop smoothie knowing it is the best smoothie available!"

Our story begins with Larry Holtz and his daughter, Nakia Watermeier, when they opened their first Juice Stop in Lincoln, NE, August of 1998. The franchise was out of California, and Larry and Nakia saw an opportunity. As the business grew, Nakia's brothers, John and Joel Nowak, invested in the stores and helped them build their business. Juice Stop has expanded to have 5 stores in Lincoln and just opened a location in Grand Island, NE.

Juice Stop has a foundation based on family values, and has recently added two more family members to the business, Keith Hiskey and Kash Kalkowski. Kash a native to Grand Island is managing the location. Juice Stop’s goal is to provide our locations with quality fresh fruit smoothies and healthy alternatives to fast food.
