"In a tough economy, it is important to have a strong foundation and Smoothie King has provided that foundation. Smoothie King continues to work with the franchise community, vendors and outside resources to make the brand successful. I have been impressed with the dedication of the home office, the support I have received and the attention provided to any questions I may have."
"Joining the Smoothie King Team has been an amazing and fulfilling experience. I have learned so much and the entire process from site selection to operating a store has been a wonderful journey and an empowering, learning experience. It was challenging considering the METRO DC market and the economy, but not impossible. The Smoothie King support system made the course seamless."
"First and foremost, I love smoothies! Also, I like the dual sales opportunities that Smoothie King offers. I see this segment of our economy continuing to grow as more and more people choose a healthy lifestyle. Also, the openness and support the home office offers is incredible. I feel comfortable talking to anyone because I know they will do whatever is necessary to help."
"From the start we really liked the concept – a healthy alternative to fast food. It fit our lifestyle. We were impressed by the presentation at Discovery Day. We love the fact that people of all ages, from all walks of life LOVE our product. I like being a part of something that makes people happy and healthy. I also love having the opportunity and platform to make a positive contribution to my community."
"Smoothie King has a great support system, from start to finish. The product is great. It enabled us to create a loyal customer base overnight in an area where the brand was not well known. As proof to the loyal following, we have many regular customers who travel 20 minutes or more on a regular basis just to get a Smoothie King smoothie. This proves the product is high quality and creates a loyal following."
"My son David, who was training at IMG Tennis Academy at the time, would continually suggest that I open a Smoothie King. He knew that a Smoothie King would be a great fit for our community. It has it been a tremendous success for the first eight months, and we are already in the process of opening our second store. The Smoothie King product is healthy and affordable. In a world of unhealthy people, there is a tremendous need to educate and influence others to attain a more health conscious lifestyle. Smoothie King affords us that possibility."
