    Why consider a smoothie franchise?
    A smoothie franchise lets you own a business in the better-for-you food category with a proven
    brand, menu and operating system behind you. Instead of building recipes, suppliers and
    marketing from scratch, you start with a model that already works and focus on running a great
    store.
    Smoothie and juice bars also tend to have simpler kitchens than full-service restaurants. That
    can mean a smaller team, faster training and less complex daily operations.

6 steps to owning a smoothie franchise

\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Research brands. Compare menus, store formats, support and growth plans. Start with
    a short list of three to five brands.
    2. \n\n\n\n
  2. Review the FDD. Every U.S. franchisor must give you a Franchise Disclosure
    Document at least 14 days before you sign. Read the fees, investment range,
    obligations and franchisee list.
    3. \n\n\n\n
  3. Talk to franchisees. Call current and former owners from the FDD. Ask about training,
    support, supply costs and how long it took to open.
    4. \n\n\n\n
  4. Confirm financing. Meet with a lender or franchise financing specialist to confirm how
    you’ll fund the investment and working capital.
    5. \n\n\n\n
  5. Choose your territory and site. Work with the franchisor on market availability and site
    selection. Visibility, parking and foot traffic all matter.
    6. \n\n\n\n
  6. Sign, train and open. After signing, complete training, oversee build-out and hire your
    team before your grand opening.

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Timelines vary with site selection, lease negotiation, permits and build-out. Ask the franchisor
for its typical range from signing to opening and what slows it down.
How much does a smoothie franchise cost?
Total investment depends on the brand, store size, location and build-out. The franchisor’s FDD
(Item 7) lists the estimated initial investment range. See our Investment & AUV page for current
details.
Is a smoothie franchise a good investment?
It depends on the brand’s unit economics, support and your local market. Review the FDD, talk
with current franchisees and compare menu breadth, which affects year-round sales.
Can I own more than one smoothie franchise?
Yes. Many brands offer multi-unit agreements. Robeks offers multi-unit incentives for owners
who plan to open more than one location.
