Flexible Franchise Models at Planet Smoothie

A Business Built on Flexibility

At Planet Smoothie, we believe a strong franchise should adapt to an entrepreneur’s vision and the market’s unique opportunities. This is why our diverse range of franchise models is designed to give you that power. Whether you are a seasoned business owner or a first-time franchisee, our flexible approach can help you establish a business in a variety of high-traffic locations.

The smoothie market is dynamic and consistently growing, and customers are looking for convenient, healthier options wherever they are. Our franchise models are specifically designed to fit into a wide range of popular and effective locations. From bustling shopping centers to malls, our adaptable business concepts ensure that you can bring the Planet Smoothie brand to where the customers are. This flexibility is a key advantage, allowing you to choose a model that aligns with your investment level and business goals.

Traditional Franchise Models

Our traditional franchise model is a well-established blueprint for a full-service operation. These stores are typically located in high-visibility retail centers and at active strip malls. This model is perfect for owners who want to create a true community destination with a welcoming environment where customers can relax and enjoy their favorite smoothie. A traditional Planet Smoothie location offers ample space for a full brand experience, making it an excellent choice for an entrepreneur who wants to build a strong presence and become a staple in their community.

This model thrives in areas with consistent foot traffic and a demographic that values a healthy, convenient lifestyle. This makes locations near residential neighborhoods, popular local attractions, and corporate parks ideal. The spacious layout allows for a comprehensive menu and a full-sized team, which provides greater capacity for high-volume service. The traditional model also offers a great opportunity for community engagement, allowing owners to host events and become a central gathering place.

Non-Traditional Franchise Models

For entrepreneurs seeking a lower initial investment or a more specialized business, our non-traditional franchise models offer a focused path to ownership. These concepts are designed to bring our brand to previously untapped markets by fitting into smaller spaces.

• Hospitals and Healthcare Facilities: Patients, staff, and visitors are always looking for quick, nutritious food and drink options. A Planet Smoothie kiosk can provide a healthy alternative where convenience is a top priority.
• College Campuses and Universities: Students are a key demographic for smoothies, as they often want quick energy or a healthy option between classes. A smaller-footprint Planet Smoothie location in a student union or campus food court can attract a consistent flow of customers throughout the day.
• Malls and Shopping Centers: A non-traditional model, like a kiosk, can be a perfect fit for the common areas of a mall, capturing impulse purchases from shoppers on the go.
• Gyms, Fitness Centers, and Health Clubs: This is a natural fit for our brand. A smoothie bar inside a gym provides a convenient option for a post-workout protein boost or a refreshing treat after a class.
• Airport Kiosks: Our efficient, small-footprint models are ideal for airports, providing a healthy choice for travelers in a hurry.
