A Smart Leap for the Youthful Visionary

According to Franchising Path, stepping into the business realm through franchising is a strategic move for young entrepreneurs. The franchise model offers a unique blend of guidance and independence, where the excitement of entrepreneurship meets the stability of an established brand. Here are a few compelling reasons to consider this route:

• Reduced risk: Buying into an existing business model minimizes the uncertainties typically associated with starting from scratch.
• Brand recognition: Leveraging a known brand can significantly accelerate market penetration and customer trust.
• Comprehensive support: Franchisors provide extensive training and support, invaluable for those new to the business world.
• Accessible financing: Many franchisors assist with financing, making the initial investment more manageable.
• Streamlined operations: With a franchise, the foundational business decisions have already been navigated, allowing more focus on growth and execution.

The Millennial Market: A Thirst for Wellness

The smoothie industry’s explosion is largely driven by Millennials, who prioritize health, convenience, and taste. Reports highlight this demographic’s significant impact on the smoothie and juice market, viewing these beverages as essential components of their dietary habits. This shift presents a golden opportunity for service providers to capture a considerable market share, especially in a brand-conscious landscape where authenticity and quality reign supreme.

We use real fruit and our own zero-calorie, stevia-based sweetener. We also have ‘Blasts’ we can add to your smoothie to help provide even more nutrition, boost energy or help recuperate from exercise.

“We start with a welcome call from our team, so the new franchise owner gets to know all of us and we get to learn what they have done before becoming a franchise owner. We want them to be comfortable with everything, so we set up a timeline and clear next steps. It’s a great process,” says Stacey Wopnford, Vice President of Operations.

Unmatched Support for the Aspiring Business Owner

At Planet Smoothie, we believe in empowering our franchisees with all the tools they need. Our comprehensive training program covers everything from operational mastery to exceptional customer service, ensuring that our franchise owners are well-equipped to navigate the challenges of business ownership. Our hands-on support extends from pre-opening to ongoing operations, underscoring our commitment to your satisfaction every step of the way.

“You learn a lot when you train in the store, and you learn a lot at the corporate training,” says Sura Alani, who owns and operates a franchise in Orlando, FL, with her siblings and parents. “They are there to help all the time, and because we have [Area Developer] Jason Mann and his team here, we have that extra layer of support that is wonderful.”

“Having that in-store training, so we could learn how to work with employees and manage them correctly, as well as get real practice on inventory control and other operational things, was really beneficial,” adds Tala Alani. “Having that training made us more confident, and knowing that there are supportive people we can reach out to who will make themselves available right away is also great.”
