Planet Smoothie franchise owners have a lot of reasons for why we are the best smoothie franchise on the market

When many of our Planet Smoothie franchisees looked to establish their careers in the booming smoothie industry, all the qualities they were searching for in the best smoothie franchise led them straight to us.

While they each had their own reasons for choosing Planet Smoothie, the common themes they talk about speak volumes: our corporate team is supportive and accessible, our products are high-quality and healthy, our company values promote healthy lifestyles, and our locations are successful, vital parts of their communities.

Here is some of what Planet Smoothies franchisees have to say about why we are the best smoothie franchise:

“I like being in control of my own business,” says Mele Frumer, a Planet Smoothie franchise owner in Orlando, Florida. “It has been extremely gratifying to work so hard and start to see good results. I broke even from the beginning and started making a small profit right away, and now I’m starting to really get traction. I had no training at all in this before Planet Smoothie. I’m a housewife who wanted to do something new, and with the guidance of other franchisees and guidance of corporate, and by working very hard and with my whole family working together, we’ve been able to succeed.”

For Kristin Scott, owner of a Planet Smoothie franchise in Suwanee, Georgia, the ability to engage positively with her community makes us the best smoothie franchise:

“We have had growth every single year, and this year we have seen significant growth every single month,” Kristin says. “We stay really involved in all of the schools in the community — we get to know families, and we take smoothies to schools for kids to try. We also give the schools reward certificates that they can give the kids for free smoothies.

“When you have kids who taste smoothies for the first time, they go home and tell their parents about us, and they wind up coming back to the store with whole family. We sponsor school teams by providing smoothies for banquets or for after practice at big discounts. Once they try our smoothies, we become the place people want to come. We love that, and parents love it because it is so much healthier than other options.”

For Michelle Williams, the owner of two Planet Smoothie locations in Tucson, Arizona, who is working on opening a third, the accessible nature and indispensable guidance of our leadership team make us the best smoothie franchise.

“They are super-open to their franchisees,” Michelle says. “They listen to us, and they care about what we say. They let me have my own voice — even as a new franchisee, they listened to my ideas. From top to bottom, they are amazing. They are like family. Whenever we talk it feels like I am talking with friends.
