Smoothie Franchises

Even the most indulgent smoothie has plenty of health attributes. It?s probably made with pure fruit juices or fresh fruit, fewer sweeteners, and frozen yogurt if it has a dairy component. These are smoothies, after all, not milkshakes. A few smoothie franchise brands do include some coffee-based offerings as well. One of the main distinctions between smoothies and juice is that smoothies provide a great vehicle for add-ins. These can range from weight gain products for the strength-training athlete to appetite suppressants, probiotics, protein supplements, vitamins, and even good old caffeine to turn that smoothie into a replacement for morning coffee.

Small And Simple

As with juice, smoothie franchises tend be on the lower end of the cost spectrum. Large store footprints, lots of expensive equipment, and extensive inventories are unnecessary. Smoothie shops also lend themselves well to a variety of formats. One major brand is based on a food truck model, for example, while others offer kiosk options. On the high end, total startup costs for the more expensive brands can range from $300,000 to $400,000. A few concepts include some food offerings as well, typically the sort of fare that pairs well with the basic menu, meaning fresh, healthy, and/or tropically inspired dishes. Those may have maximum costs in the $450,000 to $500,000 range. Fresh and healthy is here to stay, so the right smoothie franchise opportunities will pull in customers year after year.
