What the Franchise Times Ranking Says about Planet Smoothie

Each year, Franchise Times analyzes hundreds of franchise brands using a combination of sales data, system size, and year-over-year growth. Planet Smoothie ranked among the top 400 due to its robust market presence, commitment to quality, and consistency in meeting consumer demand for healthier, on-the-go options.

As a brand backed by Kahala Brands, we offer a network of experienced professionals who help franchisees operate efficiently and grow confidently. We’ve also made it a point to keep our business model approachable. Whether you’re just starting out or adding to your portfolio, our flexible formats, low startup costs, and strong support system make Planet Smoothie a great fit.

A Business Built for Long-Term Potential

Our product offering is at the heart of what we do. Planet Smoothie is famous for its use of real fruit, quality ingredients, and nutritional add-ins designed to meet a range of customer needs—from energy boosts to post-workout recovery. Our six-part menu structure helps guests quickly find what they’re looking for, whether it’s a meal replacement, a kid-friendly treat, or something packed with protein.

This strong product foundation keeps our customers coming back and creates a steady base of loyal fans. Many of our franchisees report that guests stop in daily, and our stores serve all five dayparts—morning, mid-morning, lunch, afternoon, and evening. With a menu that fits different lifestyles and schedules, our model adapts to changing trends in health, convenience, and taste.

The Franchise Times’ recognition also reflects how we’ve designed our operations to be simple. Our stores don’t require cooking equipment, which means lower equipment costs, fewer health code challenges, and a smaller footprint. Most of our ingredients are frozen and easy to manage, leading to lower spoilage and less food waste. Plus, because the concept is so approachable, many Planet Smoothie employees are early in their careers, which helps keep labor costs manageable.

What It Means for Current and Future Franchisees

Earning a spot on the Franchise Times Top 400 shows that Planet Smoothie is growing in all the right ways. We’re adding new locations, supporting existing owners, and improving systems as we go—all while staying true to our mission of offering delicious, better-for-you smoothies in a fun and energetic environment.

This recognition benefits our entire franchise network. A strong national presence builds brand awareness, drives interest in new markets, and increases the visibility of individual stores. It also means more opportunities for local marketing, community engagement, and repeat business.

For potential franchise owners, it’s a signal that now is a great time to get involved. We offer traditional store formats, non-traditional locations like kiosks and convenience stores, and multi-unit options for those who want to grow their footprint. Our onboarding process is designed to guide you step by step—from discovery through training to opening day.
