Smoothie King Enhances Growth and Innovation in Q3 2025
Smoothie King, recognized globally as the top smoothie franchise, is continuing to accelerate its growth and innovate its menu as it reports a robust third quarter in 2025. The company is proud to announce an impressive addition of 32 new store commitments, which includes significant expansion in key regions such as New York with its first traditional Manhattan location. This strategic move places Smoothie King firmly within the heart of urban consumers seeking healthier lifestyle options.
In a noteworthy expansion effort, the brand has successfully entered two additional states: Utah and Minnesota, where new stores have opened in Washington, UT, and Woodbury, MN. In addition to these state expansions, Smoothie King is ramping up its presence in the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, enhancing convenience for travelers by introducing new store locations in both Terminal A and Terminal D.
This quarter not only marks significant geographical expansion but also the introduction of Smoothie King's Power Eats menu nationwide. Following a successful pilot in the Dallas-Fort Worth area earlier this year, the brand has taken the bold step of offering a full-fledged food menu through all 1,200+ locations across the country. The Power Eats lineup features a variety of delicious, high-protein options that pair wonderfully with its popular smoothies, catering to health-conscious consumers seeking nourishing meals on the go.
President and CFO Gavin Felder expressed enthusiasm about the ongoing momentum, stating, "This quarter showcases the continued strength of our incredible franchise community and the exciting momentum driving the Smoothie King brand. From entering new markets to bringing bold innovation to our menu, we're growing in ways that matter — expanding our reach while keeping our purpose at the heart of everything we do."
Felder's reflections highlight the brand's commitment to fostering healthy lifestyles through its Clean Blends initiative. This initiative prioritizes the use of wholesome ingredients by incorporating more whole fruits and vegetables while eliminating artificial flavors, colors, preservatives, and added sugars from its offerings. Additionally, Smoothie King’s recent introduction of Smoothie Bowls, garnished with whole, fresh fruits and premium Purely Elizabeth™ granola, reflects the company's progressive approach to healthy eating.
Smoothie King is not only dedicated to expanding its store footprint but also to nurturing its franchise community. In Q3 alone, 55% of store signings emerged from first-time Smoothie King franchisees, showcasing the franchise model's appeal as a viable business opportunity in the fast-paced food and beverage industry. The brand's credibility has been reaffirmed through consistent recognition—ranking #19 in Entrepreneur's 2025 Franchise 500 and #90 in Fast Casual's Top 100 Movers & Shakers.
Moreover, Smoothie King's reputation in the market has propelled it into the top 100 of Technomic's annual America's Favorite Chains data, underscoring its popularity among consumers. Earlier this year, the company secured the #8 position in Nation's Restaurant News' "America's Favorite Chains" list.
As Smoothie King continues to innovate and expand its offerings, it remains focused on its mission to inspire a healthier lifestyle. By integrating nutritious menu options with strategic franchise growth, Smoothie King is poised for a bright future in the thriving health-conscious consumer market.
