Our Story

How One Small Experiment Became Legend

Smoothie King has come a long way. From a kitchen experiment to a thriving, international company – and all developed with one purpose. We first introduced the nutritional fresh-blended Smoothie in 1973 when founder Steve Kuhnau began experimenting with mixing real fruit, nutrients, and proteins in a blender at home. Soon enough, his concoctions began to have a positive impact on his health, which spawned the creation of the first Smoothie King.

Launching Smoothie King Franchising

In 1989, Smoothie King became the first Smoothie franchise in the United States. Since then, our brand has expanded its reign, with each "Lifestyle Center" also offering healthier retail product solutions in sports beverages, energy bars, nutritious snacks, vitamin supplements, herbs, minerals, and other nutrition products.

Wan Kim Purchases Smoothie King

In July 2012, Smoothie King co-founders, Steve and Cindy Kuhnau, sold the brand to SK USA, Inc., headed by CEO Wan Kim, a successful franchisee with more than 100 stores throughout South Korea.
