J's Smoothie Cafe, a current favorite in Perry, will open a second location near Eye Candy Salon, Touchstone Heating & Air, Inc. and Teresa's on 180 E Base St. The cafe will open on Saturday, Aug. 12. Owner Jonathan Akins, a Greenville native, is excited to bring his business home. “I just want to inspire other people and show them that the world is bigger than Madison,” said Akins. “I want to bring my experience home and help others in their journey to success.” Various blended fruit smoothies will be available, along with protein smoothies. Akins is even planning to have a special protein smoothie titled the “Cowboy Smoothie” which will only be available in Madison. The Cafe's hours of operation are as follows:
6 a.m.- 6 p.m.: Monday-Friday
11 a.m. - 5 p.m.: Saturday
11 a.m. - 4 p.m.: Sunday
J's Smoothie Cafe will still have its Perry location after the opening of the one in Madison. Akins invites the community to come get a refreshing smoothie starting Saturday, Aug. 12.
