Smoothie King
Smoothie King began in 1987 and has been franchising since 1988. When visits to various doctors did little to relieve the allergies Steve Kuhnau was suffering from, the nurse began reading up on nutrition, hoping a change in diet would help his symptoms. Once he began eating fresh foods and cutting fat out of his diet, Kuhnau started feeling better. His next task was to find a way to tackle the midday fatigue caused by hypoglycemia.
Using his nursing expertise and the drink mixing experience he gained as a soda jerk in high school, Kuhnau began experimenting with high protein drinks. The resulting product combined fresh fruits, vitamins and other supplements and inspired the creation of Kuhnau’s company, Smoothie King. Each Smoothie King store sells smoothies and a variety of vitamins, minerals, low fat snacks and nutritional supplements.
Smoothie king is expanding by leaps and bounds. The Entrepreneur Magazine has rated them the number1 juice-bar franchises for 15 consecutive years, and they present you a unique franchise opportunity.
A smoothie king franchise offer two concepts in one. First, their smoothies pleases the customer with delicious blends of real fruits, pure juices and nutritional supplements available in over 50 flavors, 40 of which contain less than 1g of fat. Second, their stores feature a wide selection of branded nutritional products such as vitamins, minerals, low-fat snacks, sports nutrition supplements and more.
Their costs and fees are a total investment varying from 91,000 to 239,000 US dollars, express or kiosk options are available, a franchise fee of 25,000 US dollars, an ongoing royalty fee of 6 percent and a term of agreement of 10 years, which is renewable. They Rank in the Entrepreneur Magazine 2006 Franchise 500 at number 108 and number 1 in their category in 2006.
Their mission statement is to relentlessly influence and help more and more people achieve a healthier lifestyle.
