Dallas — Smoothie King has steadily increased its presence throughout the Northeast and Midwest by 85% over the last 5 years, with northern markets now accounting for approximately 358 Smoothie King locations — up from 193 in 2020.
As part of the brand’s continued northern expansion, Smoothie King is opening its first-ever location in Penfield, N.Y., as part of a three-unit deal for the Western New York area. The new location will open on July 18.
In the last 5 years, New York has emerged as a key growth market, with store count increasing from 15 locations in 2020 to 32 locations today. With 87 trade areas available in New York, the brand is actively seeking passionate entrepreneurs to further develop the market and join the Smoothie King family.
“As Smoothie King continues to grow beyond its traditional strongholds in the South, we’re seeing tremendous interest from both guests and entrepreneurs across northern markets,” says Chris Bremer, chief development officer at Smoothie King. “Consumers everywhere are looking for convenient options that support their health and wellness goals, and our continued expansion allows us to bring our vision to new communities throughout New York and beyond.”
