bars that have a loyal customer base and brand recognition.

industry is low. There are a large number of suppliers of fruits, vegetables, and other

10
 ingredients for juice bars. Suppliers also have a limited ability to differentiate their
products, which gives juice bars more leverage in negotiations.

the cost of switching from one juice bar to another is low. This gives buyers more
leverage in negotiations.
