History

Jimmy Rosenberg founded the Evolution Fresh Company in San Bernardino, California in 1992. Jimmy was the founder of the Naked Juice Company in 1983 that was later sold to PepsiCo under the parent company’s PepsiCo Americas Beverages division in 2006.

Evolution began distributing in California and has since grown to the Western states.

On November 10, 2011 Evolution Fresh was acquired by Starbucks Corporation.

In August 2012, Ledcor Group of Companies collaborated with Starbucks Corporation and the Evolution Fresh operational group and equipment vendors on preparing facility designs and process system solutions for a complex juice production and bottling operation and facility in Rancho Cucamonga, California. They remodeled the existing 250,000 sq. ft. dry warehouse building to accommodate the juice process and production facility. The building required extensive renovations and upgrades.
