About Us

Local team adds another layer of expertise and know-how

Jason Mann bought his first Planet Smoothie location in Central Florida in 1999. Today, he owns three stores and also serves as area developer for the region, which now has 63 locations.

He says Planet Smoothie was an easy choice when he was looking for a business to start. It requires few employees to run a location, and the work atmosphere is fun.

As an Area Developer, Mann operates in the space between Planet Smoothie franchise owners and the experienced team at Kahala Brands, Planet Smoothie’s corporate parent. Kahala’s deep expertise in everything from operations to marketing serves franchise owners well, and Mann says his team’s local presence allows them to leverage those tools even further.

“I am a hybrid between the franchisor and franchisee, so I act as a coach and an information broker, moving data back and forth among franchisees as they need support,” he explains. “My team and I work shoulder to shoulder with potential franchise owners from the first phone call for more information all the way through the investigative process, finding real estate, store development, grand opening and beyond. And when they are ready to retire and sell that asset, we will be there then as well!”

That means Planet Smoothie franchise owners in South Georgia and all across Florida can tap into their regional team for in-store operational support, intensive training for themselves as well as employees, marketing outreach that includes social-media campaigns and a continual online presence, and much more.
