Voyage wine shop replaces juice bar in Thornton Park

A former juice bar in Thornton Park, Orlando, is set to become a wine and gourmet retail shop called Voyage. Daniel Torres and Gamaliel Mercado are behind this new venture. They plan to open Voyage at 898 E. Washington St., where Raw Juice Bar used to operate before moving to Winter Park. Initially, Torres and Mercado aimed to create a small restaurant. They brought in consultant Monica McCown to help them with permits and licenses. However, they encountered some challenges in making the restaurant a reality. As a result, they decided to change their plans. Now, they are focusing on establishing a wine shop instead. They are seeking support from Orlando’s DTO Retail Program to assist with the necessary permitting and funding processes.
