Oxford's Main Squeeze


Ron Shapiro opened his juice bar Main Squeeze in March of 2008. His idea is to bring organic healthy foods as an option to Oxford, a town known for its food but more often fried and soulful than healthy and organic. The atmosphere at Main Squeeze is more chill than other places around town. As you walk up to the front porch you notice that there isn't much coherence to the order of furniture adorning the front lawn and the porch is strewn out in the
seemless order the last folks sitting there had arranged.


The Main Squeeze has a slew of smoothies, juices, and most recently a vegetarian food menu to choose from. One of the most popular if not unique beverages would be the mythical
wheat grass shots, which may save your life. Melissa Loria has worked at Main Squeeze since it opened and known Shapiro since she was young and says he's a fun boss to have who, "always keeps things interesting and different."





Voted as Oxford's favorite smoothie spot by The Local Voice.



Ron, better known to townies as "Ronzo", has plans to keep the shop open for late night snacking, something that can be difficult to find in Oxford after about 10 p.m. Main Squeeze also hosts movie on hot summer nights where goers can pick up a smoothie and watch classic films that Ronzo says keep people interested.
