Retail Zoo is the holding company behind powerhouse brands Boost Juice, Betty's Burgers, Salsas Fresh Mex and CIBO Espresso. Between Retail Zoo’s four brands there are over 660 stores around the globe – employing over 8000 people in more than 12 countries. Boost Juice We believe every person that visits Boost Juice will leave feeling just that little bit better. That first Boost Juice in Adelaide has grown into over 400 Boost Juice stores around the world – including Asia, South America, UK & Europe! The story of how Boost became the most beloved Australian juice company begins with Janine Allis, a mother of four who has always been an advocate for healthy eating and living. Janine had a desire to own her own business and she noticed there was a lack of truly healthy fast food in the marketplace. Janine did extensive research worldwide and started to develop a business concept that was vastly different…Boost Juice! Her vision was to do retailing differently, delivering a unique customer experience based on the “Love Life” philosophy that Boost now how come to be known for. Betty's Burgers The Betty’s Burgers concept is a classic burger shack, serving the freshest, juiciest and mouth-watering burgers around. Originating in Noosa, Queensland, Betty's Burgers has expanded across Queensland, NSW, ACT, SA and Victoria bringing that relaxed Noosa beach-vibe to a growing and loyal fan base. With a delicious and simple menu of classic burgers, fries, onion rings, shakes and ice cream, and beach shack ambiance, Betty’s Burgers offers guests a relaxed dining experience for any occasion. CIBO CIBO Espresso was born from a passion to share the simple pleasures of the Italian lifestyle. From its humble beginnings, CIBO Espresso now has 27 stores in South Australia. Salsas Salsas Fresh Mex brings crave-able and fresh Mexican fare in the form of burritos, tacos, quesadillas and nachos to a dedicated fan following across 22 stores.
