Dallas — Smoothie King, the world’s largest smoothie brand and the first health and fitness fast-casual brand of its kind, has opened its 1,200th domestic store, located in Roanoke, Texas. The new store, located near Smoothie King’s corporate headquarters in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, celebrated its ribbon-cutting ceremony on Nov. 14.
In addition to the Roanoke opening, Smoothie King is accelerating its expansion in the Chicago area — one of its fastest-growing markets — with 10 new locations in various stages of development. This includes recent openings in Dekalb on Oct.14, in Chicago on Nov. 4, in Crest Hill on Nov. 18, and four more stores slated for early 2025 in Huntley, Lansing, Oak Lawn and Homer Glen. Additionally, Smoothie King has secured commitments for three more Illinois locations, including two in Chicago and one in Ottawa.
“Reaching the 1,200th store milestone at this beautiful new location in Roanoke is especially meaningful given our brand’s presence in DFW — including our corporate headquarters and over 80 Smoothie King locations across the metroplex,” says Chris Bremer, chief development officer at Smoothie King. “Additionally, our rapid expansion in the Chicago area brings our nutritious, delicious smoothies to even more neighborhoods to support healthier lifestyles for our guests across the city.”
