WHOLLY MOLI
SIX JUICE BAR DEBUTS
QUENCHING HEALTHY THIRSTS
BY MAIA VINES
The Garden City-based Six Juice
Company, one of the few Black-owned
juiceries on Long Island, is set to open
its first physical location in Sayville
this year.
The benefits of juicing may include
weight loss, hair growth, fatigue
relief, and an increase in vitamins,
minerals and antioxidants. Six Juice
founder Ronald “Six” Montgomery
learned about these benefits and began
juicing a few years ago to help his
mother stay healthy after her battle
with breast cancer. At the time, he
knew nothing about the process.
“I just thought you get some fruits and
you put them in a blender so that’s what
I did and the first juices I made were
absolutely terrible,” the Central Islip
native said. “I just kept going, got better
at it, and I have a passion for it.”
All Six Juices are handmade and
use all-natural, non-GMO fruits and
vegetables. Some popular flavors
include fresh, melo, Caribbean, hurricane,
power and inferno 6, which
is made with fresh watermelon, beet,
ginger, orange and lemon. Six Juice
also offers two-, three-, or five-day
juice cleansing packs for customers
looking to detox and buy in bulk.
Most juice orders are made through
the company’s website. Besides
delivery, Six Juices can be found at
markets in Bay Shore and Brentwood
as well as at the Pro-Fit center in Deer
Park. Montgomery wishes to expand
this list to other parts of the Island
in the near future.
“Every business thinks that they
have to run the city and I don’t
believe that,” Montgomery said. “I
think there’s enough people on Long
Island to help grow my business and
get the word out there, so I’m taking
care of home before I branch out.”
Increased demand for Six Juices
pushed Montgomery to make plans
for a brick-andmortar
juice bar
which will allow
for easier distribution
of juices
and new additions. The owner also
plans to provide protein shakes, vegan
