Yankees’ Mark Teixeira Becomes A Player In Health Drink Business

juicepress.com? I thought The NY Daily News Sports Investigative Team owned the rights to that.

Teixeira, a two-time All-Star, and investing partner Kenny Dichter are teaming up on a Juice Press store in Greenwich, Conn., where Teixeira lives. They are also putting an undisclosed amount of money in the entire company. The Juice Press has three stores and a soon-to-open fourth in Manhattan, according to its website. They feature cold-pressed fruit and vegetable juices for refreshment and for the juice-only fasts called cleanses. The stores have also gained a following among raw-food devotees. The Connecticut outlet is expected to open in the spring.

In addition to Teixeira’s heavy-hitting profile, The Juice Press apparently got a determined entrepreneur. The first baseman said he was looking for a worthwhile investment to help manage, not a celebrity endorsement gig. “It’s not like I’m getting free juice for life to like it,” he said. “I am much more interested in long-term partnerships.”

Teixeira paid $25,000 for a new company domain name, juicepress.com, because it was easier to remember, store officials said. The address will become active soon.
