Career
Janine Allis started to work when she was the age of 17 as a media assistant. She worked at an advertising agency known as McCann-Erickson. Allis later joined the modeling and even become a gym manager.
However, Allis did not start her firm when she was a teenager. This is because she was busy being a mom and working for other firms. Janine worked as a promotions executive in Portugal, nanny in France and even camp counselor in the USA. That was not all she later took up jobs as stewardess on David Bowie’s yacht, become a senior manager for the Singapore cinema chain.
Allis was looking to start her own business once she left her job and at the same time, Jeff was a thing of a business idea. At the time Jeff was working as a program director for a company known as Austereo. In 1999, Allis and her husband came up with the idea of advancing the retailing business.
Later in 2000, the Juice Company was established in Adelaide South Australia. She was still working at her job when the firm was formed. However, as time went by she found herself spending more time on the business than her work. This is because of the passion she had and wanted to see the business growing.
Allis was working for 80 hours in a week when the company was initiated. Her efforts and determination did not go in vain. She opened the first juice bar in Prahran Chapel Street and the other two branches the same year of its establishment.
Competition was still something she was struggling to wave off when the firm was coming up. Nonetheless, in 2004 the business continued to grow despite the competition. She was able to open more than 150 shops in Australia.
She and the husband had to think about taking the company overseas after penetrating the local market. This saw the firm emerging as one of the best companies in the world afterwards. The firm has even opened branches across 13 different countries and has over 600 stores worldwide.
The company is estimated to be selling over 2 million juices every month. This means the business is doing great and has an increased profit margin. Allis is a director of Michael Hill Jeweler and also a director in Retail Zoo. She has documented her journey in the famous book The accidental entrepreneur: the juicy bits. This shows how they struggled and managed to build the business from scratch.

There was a time when Barn Capital bought into the firm and Janine saw an opportunity and took it. She liquidated the company which gave her a lot of cash in the process. However, she and the husband still own a huge part of the shares in the same firm.
The company is still growing and it is approximated to make more revenues as time goes. This is an indication that her net worth is bound to increase over time.

In the next few years, she will become a member of the billionaire’s club.
