TIM TEBOW (FAR RIGHT), KAT ECKLES (CENTER) AND LANDON ECKLES ARE READYTO EXPAND THE BRAND TOGETHER. 

Clean Juice and Tim Tebow first found common ground. Now, they’re looking at plenty of opportunity ahead.

Landon Eckles is getting into a story on Clean Juice’s origins when Tim Tebow interjects. “If she wouldn’t give [the food] to one of y’alls 19 kids, why would you do that?” he jokes, referencing the brand’s early guidepost—to serve product Landon and his wife, Kat, would be comfortable giving their children (there are actually five). The rapport between Tebow, the 6-foot-3, former Heisman Trophy winner, and the husband-wife duo behind one of the country’s fast

est-growing franchises, however, is evident. And it’s a relationship that began much like Clean Juice did in 2014 when it debuted in Huntersville, North Carolina—from a view broader than ROI. Clean Juice was opening a store in Nocatee, a planned commu nity located in northern St. Johns County, Florida, minutes from where Tebow won a state football title at Nease High School. Tebow was sampling juices and products and asked to meet the brass.
