(Binghamton, NY) - On Wednesday, Senator Lea Webb presented JuUuice Juicery with the New York State Senate Empire Award, recognizing the business for its excellence in service, innovation, and community impact.

Founded by local entrepreneur Cortez Campbell, JuUuice Juicery began as a small stand at the Broome County Regional Farmers Market and has since grown into a vibrant downtown business, offering cold-pressed juices, smoothies, açaí bowls, and plant-based meals.

From the start, JuUuice Juicery has been committed to wellness, sustainability, and inclusivity. By sourcing local produce whenever possible and crafting nutrient-rich recipes that are both flavorful and nourishing, the business has made health-forward food more accessible for families across the Southern Tier.

“JuUuice Juicery exemplifies the entrepreneurial spirit that drives our communities forward,” said Senator Lea Webb. “Through innovation, hard work, and a deep care for people’s well-being, Mr. Campbell has built a business that not only thrives economically but uplifts others. This recognition celebrates the power of local entrepreneurship and the positive ripple effects it creates throughout our region.”

“The Empire Award is a reminder that when a community comes together around a shared vision, powerful things happen,” said Founder Cortez Campbell. “Thank you to everyone who supports Juuuice and our mission to bring wellness, creativity, and opportunity to the Southern Tier.”

The JuUuice Juicery team continues to make a lasting impact by fostering a welcoming, family-friendly environment where community health is celebrated and customers are treated like neighbors. Their presence at local markets and dedication to sourcing from nearby farms also help strengthen the local food economy and deepen the connection between residents and regional agriculture.
