Some TMNT stuff really isn't for little kids. |
The Angel Grove Gym and Juice Bar, a part of the Angel Grove Youth Center, is the primary hangout spot of the Power Rangers. It is owned by Ernie.
The Juice Bar first appears in Issue 1. The Power Rangers, minus Thomas Oliver and Kimberly Hart, are seated around a table discussing the physics test that Trini Kwan failed. While they all know that they aren’t going to have the time to study enough to make the honor roll, they do think it would be nice if they weren’t always the last line of defense against Rita’s monsters.
In MMPR/TMNT II Issue 1, Zack Taylor is ordering drinks for himself and the other Rangers, when Donatello and Michelangelo show up. They are cloaked by holograms that make them appear human, but Don’s starts to act up and Billy Cranston leads him away from the counter before Ernie notices. Seated at a table, April O'Neil enjoys an ice cream float along with Trini and Kimberly. They are approached by Bulk and Skull, who have recognized April.
Near the end of MMPR/TMNT II issue 5, the Power Rangers are joined in the Juice Bar by all four of the Turtles, who are cloaked by the hologram device and appear human. At the counter, Tommy, Kimberly, and Trini are lamenting the fact that they can no longer mutate into dinosaurs. Ernie walks up with his camera and urges everyone to squeeze in together, and when they do, he takes a picture of the entire group.
