Our franchise concept:

Our franchise concept:In 1973 in New Orleans, Louisiana, Smoothie King pioneered the

concept of blending nutritional fresh smoothies with a purpose. Using our proprietary

products (proteins, various supplements, and real fruits) we continue to develop and

engineer functional smoothies to meet the needs of today’s consumers. Our business is

simple & clean, full of fun & energy, and most of all truly about better health. Essentially

we have a dual concept with a wide array of proteins, supplements, and healthy snacks in

our retail area. We are proud to be a truly authentic company and we will continue to be on

the forefront of new product innovation utilizing the highest quality resources sourced from

all over the globe.

Health and nutrition is quality of life vs. disease

and death. There is a “magic pill” and it is…

proper nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle changes

if you are going to improve your chances for a quality

life. Our business is all about making people aware

and providing them with better and convenient

solutions to their busy schedules. People will always

be hurried and not have time to properly account in

their diet for well balanced meals.

Our History:

Smoothie King, the originator of the nutritional fruit smoothie, is a privately-held New

Orleans, Louisiana-area based franchise company and is the premier smoothie bar and

nutritional lifestyle center in the industry. Each Lifestyle Center also offers healthy retail

product solutions in sport beverages, energy bars, healthy snacks, herbs, minerals and sports

nutrition products. Steve Kuhnau founded Smoothie King in the late 1960’s when he began

making smoothies in response to his own health issues and food allergies. More than 30 years

later, he and his wife Cindy, Smoothie King’s co-founder, are bringing healthy, nutritional

smoothies to all of the U.S. and beyond.
