Description
Here's the deal. The Smoothie Shop and Supplements is an established Kansas City brand, and we're now opening it up for ownership across the Midwest. This isn't a startup you're building from a blank page. It's a proven concept with a real menu people already come back for, smoothies, acai bowls, protein balls, and a full supplements line, all running out of a small 1,000 to 1,200 square foot footprint that keeps your overhead low and your operation simple.
The economics are built for an owner-operator, not a private equity spreadsheet. The initial franchise fee is $25,000; the total investment runs $156,500 to $413,500, depending on your space and buildout; and your royalty is 5% of sales, with the first six months waived while you find your feet. Veterans get 10% off the franchise fee. If you'd rather start mobile, there's a trailer unit option too. The model is small on purpose because the businesses that survive are the ones the owner can actually run and understand.
What you're really getting is the support. Our leadership team isn't a room full of executives who've never made a smoothie. We have owned and operated a shop ourselves, so when we hand you the blueprint, the training, the marketing, and the vendor relationships, it's the same playbook we ran every day. You'll train with us in a suburb of Kansas City, Missouri, and you'll have us in your corner on operations, marketing, and nutrition from day one.
The timing is the part most people miss. Healthy, on-the-go food stopped being a trend and became how people eat. The smoothie category is a $7.09 billion market that continues to grow, and we want to grow with owners who actually care about their communities.
Right now, our priority states are Missouri and Kansas. We're also open to a conversation about Iowa, Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee, Ohio, and Colorado. If one of those is your backyard and you've been waiting for the right thing to own, this is it.
If you're interested in becoming an owner, inquire. Let's talk.

Facilities & Assets
This is an asset-light business by design. You're running out of a small 1,000 to 1,200 square foot space, so there's no warehouse, no fleet, and no heavy machinery to carry. The physical footprint stays lean: blending and prep equipment, a POS system, signage, basic furniture and fixtures, and your opening inventory of smoothie ingredients and supplements. Most of the value you build lives in the brand, the recipes, the systems, and the customer base, not in expensive hard assets sitting on a balance sheet. That means lower overhead, less capital tied up, and a business you can actually run without a maintenance crew. If you want to go even lighter, there's a mobile trailer unit option that operates without a fixed location at all.
Support & Training
You're not figuring this out alone. Before you open, your operating principal and store manager train with us in Lee's Summit, Missouri, and the initial training for two people is included. From there you get the full operations manual, the recipes, the vendor relationships, and a leadership team that actually owns and runs shops, so the guidance you get is the same playbook we run every day. We're available on operations, marketing, and nutrition by phone, email, and video as you grow, and we provide opening assistance to get your first days right. The brand keeps the systems current, so when something improves, it shows up in your store too. And because the first six months of royalty are waived, you've got room to find your footing before the meter starts running.
Market & Competition
Healthy, on-the-go food stopped being a trend and became how people eat, and the smoothie category is a $7.09 billion market that keeps growing. The big national chains own the strip-mall corners, but they're built to be large and impersonal, and most of them sell smoothies and little else. Our edge is two things. First, supplements give you a second revenue line under the same roof, so you're not living and dying on smoothie traffic alone. Second, a small owner-operated shop can build the kind of community loyalty a regional chain never will, because customers know who's behind the counter. You're competing on health, consistency, and relationship, in a category where demand isn't slowing down.
Growth Opportunities
There's real room to grow this past a single storefront. You can add a mobile trailer unit and serve events, fairs, and high-traffic spots without a second lease. You can cater within your territory, which opens corporate, school, and event revenue most shops leave on the table. As you prove the model, you can pursue additional units and build a small local network instead of one location. The supplements side lets you grow basket size with every customer who walks in for a smoothie. And you're getting in while the Midwest is still wide open, so the best territories are available instead of already spoken for. The brand handles the systems, you focus on running and expanding.
