Pouring Goodness: How South Block is Nourishing The Body and Soul | Amir Mostafavi, Founder & CEO
Welcome back to The National Restaurant Owners Podcast!
In this episode, we are joined by Amir Mostavai.
Amir is the founder of South Block & local pioneer in bringing cold-pressed juice, smoothies & acai bowls to the DC area. Amir first fell in love with juicing while soaking up rays on a trip to Southern California back in 1998. It wasn’t just any juice that Amir fell in love with… no, it was the fresh, healthful, sustainable, and high-quality ingredients he found while in California. After jet-setting back east, Amir could not find that same freshness in DC. That was when he knew that it was time to bring the juice revolution to his backyard!
In 2004, Amir opened his first Juice Bar at George Washington University, Campus Fresh. This is where Amir refined his brand and discovered the importance of community involvement and connection through the many fundraiser and student activities Campus Fresh was involved in.
In 2011, South Block was born in Clarendon on the sleepy “South Block” side of town. But that block would soon come to life! Amir believed that he could create life out of that sleepy block by giving people an awesome experience and making them feel fantastic through quality healthy food, community connection, and the good vibes they would be serving!
With a mission to build healthier communities, South Block has been moving one block at a time, taking the good vibes and great products to new “blocks” in the DMV! With over a decade of juicing knowledge, South Block is a locally owned and operated juice bar in Northern VA and DC with multiple locations and growing!
Amir has also started a non-profit organization called Fruitful Planet. The mission to provide fruits and vegetables to food-insecure communities & people in need.
