Get Fresh Produce Here! - Citrus Punch Designs

Tony and Wilma Burton opened the doors Citrus Punch Designs for the first time April 30, 2007. Tony who is an Interior Designer, and Wilma an Emmy winner television producer/writer who decided to leave behind their positions in the corporate world, went and opened a boutique dedicated to women in search of comfortable long-lasting clothes they can wear in their everyday colorful lives.

At first their families thought they were going to sell vegetables: “Fresh Produce? You mean vegetables?” “No! We meant a colorful comfortable clothing line named Fresh Produce!”

The name Citrus Punch came from the couple’s love and pride of Riverside, and is in honor of the Citrus Industry that originated in Riverside, CA (it was not Florida, like most people think!)

Citrus Punch Designs is a very colorful place in oranges and yellow tones, “it does feel fresh,” customers say from the moment they walk in. The wall colors give that fresh feeling of nature, and the décor with citrus including limes, lemons and oranges emphasizes that feeling along with the smell of citrus.

Outside the store they display a giant orange welcoming visitors to Riverside. It looks heavy, but in fact is very light in fiber glass allowing us to roll it in and out everyday. So they created a slogan:

“When the Big Orange is Out We Are IN!”

Bringing Fresh Produce to the city of Riverside was very exciting news for those Fresh Produce customers who needed to travel more than an hour to get to the nearest boutique carrying the brand. Now with Fresh Produce in town there is a sense of pride among those customers who appreciate having their own fresh produce boutique in the heart of downtown Riverside. In less than a year the boutique has become an inland destination for all women seeking the line.

Citrus Punch is a Fresh Produce dealer with about 85% of its inventory dedicated to this line (They have been told they have one of the largest selections in the area.) Citrus Punch has become a favorite boutique for many in town, in part, blame their customer service. You will always be welcomed with a smile and provided with the assistance you deserve, for those who rather be on their own, they give customers their space and privacy.

This year the City of Riverside asked Citrus Punch to dress all the candidates for the Miss Riverside Pageant in Fresh Produce. The candidates were very excited about the line great style, colors and amazing selection to choose from. The event was great exposure for the shop and a wonderful experience for us and the candidates.

Tony and Wilma are public service oriented people who devote their time and efforts in making a difference in their community. Citrus Punch Designs has become a vehicle for the couple to help organizations and non-profit groups that serve those in need. Currently, Citrus Punch is raising funds for the new Riverside Humane Society Pet Adoption Center. Their most recent public service campaign: “Lemon Aid” for the Animals was very successful, giving bags of lemons for every donation.
