In 2013, when founders Jermale and Anissa Eddie started Malamiah Juice Bar in Grand Rapids, MI they had a product that people loved — fresh squeezed juices — but more than that, they had a vision for what their simple juice bar could mean to the community. They’ve created a destination that has spread good cheer, great health, and has worked to include those who are traditionally left out of the healthy food equation. The way that Malamiah operates, the products Malamiah produces, and the community wellness that Malamiah promotes can be summed up in the brand’s unique hashtag – #MALAMAZING That hashtag provided the perfect name to bridge Malamiah’s origin story with its newest venture of wholesale juice production.See More
