BUFFALO, N.Y. The Juicery in Delaware Park is set to reopen this month under new management.
The Juicery will be run by partners Angelo Canna and Jake Caprow.
“Spending summers in the park as a child, running around, playing baseball, all with the anticipation that at some point we would get to stop by The Juicery are some of my fondest memories.
