Joe & the Juice, the Danish juice and coffee bar operator, is set to open its first outlet in France, M&C Report understands.

Construction is currently underway at Nice Airport for the operator’s first foray into France – its seventh country. It currently has stores in Denmark, the UK, Germany, Norway, Sweden and Iceland.

In November the Joe & the Juice founder Kaspar Blasse told M&C Report he would like to enter “one or two” more markets in Europe this year as well as planning an entrance into the US.

He also said at the time the company was targeting central London sites as part of its plans to open 10 – 15 new sites in 2015.
