Blend Juice Bars will offer up delicious healthy juices, smoothies, and Italian ice cream for people in the Lang Toun made from 100 per cent natural ingredients with no artificial colourings or flavours.
The business is the brainchild of partners, Skye Melvin (31) and Liam Kinnaird (29), who already have a Blend Juice Bar in Aberdeen.

Skye, who has five years experience in the juice bar industry, said: “Liam and I both love juices and smoothies so we decided to open our own bar.
"We have had a bar in Aberdeen for a few months and things are going good so we wanted to expand.
"We chose Kirkcaldy because there isn’t anything like our bar in the area – the closest juice bars to Fife is either Dundee or Stirling.

"What makes us different from other juice bars is that we don’t use any concentrated juice, everything is 100 per cent fresh and natural.”
As well as providing juice, smoothies, and ice cream, the couple will also be taking on employees once the shop is up and running.
"We are hoping to be open in the first week of July, and when we are settled we will be looking to take on three to four employees,” Skye said.

"It’s so exciting that we’ll be open soon and are looking forward to it, we really like Kirkcaldy, the beach is lovely and everyone on the High Street has been really nice to us.”
