A coconut and a gift resulted in 13 years of success for one business owner in Bed-Stuy. Robert Warner, also known as Coconut Rob, says he created his business after losing everything. He said it took forgiveness, creating a new relationship with his creator and a vision to bring these juices to life. He's known to many people in Bed-Stuy as the man with the real juices. He said it was important to use all natural ingredients, giving people the real and the raw. But what makes these drinks so iconic is the story behind each flavor. "There is a story tied back to it. All of these juices, we want to...name them after the customers, like their stories behind it," he says. He told News 12 his customers are his inspiration and when the time is right, he'll name the drinks. For now, the drinks are named by its ingredients. Coconut Rob can be found on Fulton Street Tuesday to Thursday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. "
