Smoothie King Franchise Opportunity

Join the #1 Juice Bar Franchise in America

Celebrating 40 Years Of Success

Smoothie King first introduced the nutritional fresh-blended fruit smoothie 40 years ago 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 in 1973.

By 1989, Smoothie King became the first franchised smoothie bar / health food store in the United States. Since then, the brand has expanded its reign to include a wide selection of healthy retail products, including sports beverages, energy bars, healthy snacks, vitamin supplements, herbs, minerals and other sports nutrition products.

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

Today, Smoothie King has more than 600 units worldwide operating in 32 U.S. states, Korea, Singapore and the Cayman Islands.

A Fresh Opportunity

Smoothie King is on track to become the most recognized smoothie concept in the world and is now seeking qualified candidates to drive the brand's growth.

Consumers today have an increasing desire to live a healthier, more active lifestyle. Smoothie King's wide variety of fresh-blended, healthy smoothies, juices, nutritional supplements and snacks meet that demand. This consumer demand is fueling Smoothie King's energized growth under new Global CEO Wan Kim with plans to add 1,000 new franchised and corporate locations across the United States over the next five years.
