Protect SQUeeZeRS: Stand with Keith and Alex

Betrayal in Bishop Arts: Help SQUeeZeRS Juice Bar Fight Back and Keep Our Mission Alive!**

Move further and faster together! That's the spirit that has fueled SQUeeZeRS Juice Bar since our humble beginnings at a McAllen, Texas, farmers market 12 years ago. Our "why" has always been clear: to keep faith in our mission to provide our guests with convenient, healthy, and delicious options while promoting well-being and a positive lifestyle!

Hi, we're Keith and Alex, the proud owners of SQUeeZeRS Juice Bar right here in San Antonio, Texas. We poured our hearts and sweat into building this dream, growing from a simple fold-out table to several thriving brick-and-mortar shops in our beloved city.

In 2022, filled with excitement and a vision for expansion, we were approached by another couple in Dallas, Texas, about opening a SQUeeZeRS location in the vibrant Bishop Arts District. We believed in fostering community and extending our values of inclusion through our brand, so we trusted this couple to be the perfect partners. Together, we envisioned them as our first franchise, solidifying it with a mutual franchise agreement. And just like that, SQUeeZeRS Juice Bar in the Bishop Arts District was born.

To make this dream a reality, we made immense sacrifices. We temporarily paused operations in San Antonio, enrolled our children in homeschooling, and tirelessly traveled back and forth to Dallas, investing thousands of our own money in every aspect. Despite the strain on our family and existing business, witnessing SQUeeZeRS come alive in Dallas filled us with joy. We poured our hearts and 12 years of business experience into this couple, providing them with the complete blueprint for success.

After a year of hard work and shared profits, we were utterly shocked and heartbroken by an unbelievable betrayal. The couple we trusted decided to take everything we taught them, everything we built, and rebrand it under a new name. Their justification? A false pretense that we had told them "to separate the business and God." As true believers, nothing could be further from the truth. We know that God has always been our silent investor, guiding and blessing our journey.

Now, we face the daunting task of fighting to protect what is rightfully ours. This isn't just about a business; it's about our legacy, our mission, and the countless hours of dedication we've poured into SQUeeZeRS. They have taken our intellectual property, the very essence of our brand, and are attempting to profit from our hard work and vision.

This act of betrayal threatens our ability to:

* Continue our mission of empowering people through healthy choices and a positive lifestyle.

* Support our dedicated team here in San Antonio, who have stood by us through thick and thin.

* Innovate and grow the SQUeeZeRS brand that you know and love.

We are Keith and Alex, not a faceless corporation. We are a family-run business built on faith, integrity, and a deep connection to our community. Fighting this injustice requires significant legal resources that are currently beyond our reach.

That's why we are humbly leaning on our incredible community, our friends, family, and anyone who believes in fairness and the protection of small businesses.

Every donation, no matter the size, will make a tangible difference in our fight. It will send a powerful message that together is better in our community and that betrayal will not triumph over hard work and genuine intentions. Your generosity will not only directly support our legal efforts to:

* Take decisive action against those who have stolen our intellectual property.

* Protect the SQUeeZeRS brand that we have lovingly built over the past 12 years.

* Ensure the future of SQUeeZeRS Juice Bar and our ability to continue serving you with the healthy and delicious options you expect.

Despite this painful experience, our faith in our community remains strong, and our mission will live on. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being a part of the SQUeeZeRS family and for helping us protect our dream.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Keith and Alex
