How Planet Smoothie’s Franchise Systems Work In Different Venues

A National Brand Built for Multi-Unit Growth

Building a successful franchise portfolio takes a proven business model, a strong brand, and the power to tap into real growth. For over 30 years, Planet Smoothie has expanded into a well-known name with an industry-leading, national presence. We give ambitious business owners a clear path to scale under a recognized brand backed by Kahala Brands, one of the true heavyweights in franchising. Opening several locations becomes straightforward because our franchise systems surround you with elite preparation and ongoing operational guidance from day one, covering everything from finding the right location for your business to guiding you through your grand opening, marketing, and daily operations.

We remove the friction from growing a multi-store portfolio by providing a simple, replicable playbook designed for scaling. Every owner completes classroom training alongside hands-on, in-store prep to master workflows, inventory management, and customer service practices. Paired with consistent support, you also get flexible franchise formats that make it easy to build your portfolio and bring Planet Smoothie to your community. This structure gives you the freedom to secure the right fit for every location you open and build a strong market presence, all while leaning on the same guidance that makes multi-unit ownership practical.

Flexible Franchise Systems That Fit Your Goals

Scaling your business should never depend on finding a one-size-fits-all retail footprint. Venues and demographics vary across markets, and successful multi-unit owners know that flexibility is key to growth and expansion. That’s why Planet Smoothie offers multiple franchise formats designed to give you the freedom to build a portfolio that fits your goals, your local real estate options, and your market.

• Traditional Model: Full-size inline and endcap storefronts built for street-level and retail shopping centers, providing a complete brand experience that anchors your business in high-traffic areas.
• Non-Traditional Model: Perfect for compact kiosks, convenience stores, mall food courts, airports, and college campuses where space is tight and busy guests are looking for something on the go.

Mixing these options lets you expand across your market in a way that makes sense for you and what you want out of franchise ownership. Because every format uses the same core routines and replicable systems, running multiple stores stays straightforward while Planet Smoothie continues to deliver the comprehensive support that makes growth possible.
