At NRA Show 2025, Citrus America Highlighted How Equipment Improves Labor, Safety, Efficiency, and Signature Product Offerings

CHICAGO, IL / ACCESS Newswire / June 2, 2025 / As restaurants, bars, and foodservice operators face increasing pressure to do more with less, Citrus America made a powerful statement at this year's National Restaurant Association (NRA) Show, offering game-changing solutions that improve labor efficiency, staff safety, and bottom-line profitability, all while enabling operators to develop distinctive, high-margin signature products through the power of fresh-squeezed citrus juice.

Attracting strong interest and high-quality conversations throughout the four-day event, Citrus America showcased how its advanced Citrocasa commercial juicers help streamline back-of-house operations, reduce prep labor, and drive innovation across menus and retail programs.

Held in Chicago, the 2025 NRA Show welcomed over 53,000 foodservice professionals from 110 countries, with more than 2,300 exhibiting companies covering nearly 718,000 square feet of innovation. With rising labor costs, evolving consumer demands, and operational stressors on the rise, this year's Show was focused on delivering real-world, actionable solutions, making Citrus America's offerings especially timely and impactful.

"We're helping operators solve some of their toughest challenges," said Brian Framson, President and Co-Founder of Citrus America. "From reducing injury risk to creating unforgettable signature offerings, our solutions deliver real-world value across the board."

Attendees experienced Citrus America's impact firsthand with freshly squeezed orange juice and a house-made lemonade recipe, while learning how the company's equipment fits seamlessly into a variety of formats, including restaurants, cafés, breakfast diners, cocktail bars, and global concepts like Mexican and Peruvian restaurants preparing popular dishes like ceviche.

On display were a full range of Citrocasa models designed to meet the specific needs of diverse operations:

• The high-performance 8000SB-ATS

• The compact, versatile Fantastic F/SB-ATS and Fantastic M/AS

• The Fantastic ECO, a no-electricity-required option ideal for mobile setups

• The rugged, but small Revolution

• And a sneak preview of the upcoming Citrocasa xPro, soon launching in the U.S., which introduces cutting-edge features for safety and automation in high-volume environments

"These systems aren't just about fresh juice. They're about unlocking new revenue, reducing staff strain, and standing out with product innovation," said Framson.

Citrus America was proudly represented by its team of Jay Gardner, Stephen Farinhas, Brian Framson, Miriam Framson, Jacob Framson, and Elke Framson, whose presence underscored the family-driven values behind the brand's growth and hands-on service model.

With operators looking for tangible ways to improve efficiency and create menu differentiation, the Citrus America team had dozens of deep-dive conversations with buyers across all segments of the foodservice industry.

Beyond the booth, Citrus America explored emerging innovations across the NRA Show floor, including AI restaurant management tools, beverage tech, cooling advancements, and new prep and cooking systems, aligning with the industry's push toward safer, more responsive, and more adaptable kitchens.

This year's NRA Show capped a strong event season for the company, following its recent successful participation in the Bar & Restaurant Expo, NAFEM, and the National Grocers Association (NGA) Show, all further proof of Citrus America's broad relevance and growing impact.

"Operators today are looking for real ROI and tools they can implement now," said Framson. "That's exactly what we brought to NRA, and the enthusiasm we saw proves we're hitting the mark."
