![listing image]()
DescriptionThe Smoothie Shop and Supplements is a Kansas City local favorite brand, and it's opening up for ownership across the Midwest. This is a proven concept with a menu people come back for: smoothies, acai bowls, protein balls, and supplements.
All of it runs out of a small 900- to 1,200-square-foot space that keeps overhead low.
- The initial franchise fee is $25,000.
- Total investment runs $156,500 to $413,500 depending on your space and buildout.
- The royalty is 5% of sales, and the first six months are waived while you find your feet.
- Veterans get 10% off the fee.

The founder of Diffactory is an investor in this business. That means the brokerage bringing it to you is also an owner. We don't list things we wouldn't put our own money behind and we already put ours behind this one.
Right now the priority states are Missouri and Kansas where the HQ is located. Also open to a conversation about Iowa, Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee, Ohio, Texas, Florida and Colorado.
If one of those is your backyard, and you've been waiting for the right thing to own, this is it.

Facilities & AssetsThis is an asset-light business by design. The whole thing runs out of a small 9space ranging from 00 to 1,200 square feet. No warehouse. No fleet. No heavy machinery to haul or repair.
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.
And if you want to go even lighter? There's a mobile trailer option that operates with no fixed location at all.
Support & TrainingThe scariest part of owning a business? Doing it alone. You won't be in this company.
Before you open, you and your store manager train in Lee's Summit, Missouri, and training for two people is included. You walk away with the full operations manual, the recipes, and the vendor relationships already built for you.
And the people training you actually own and run shops. So the playbook you get is the same one they run every day. Not theory. The real thing.
After you open, the support keeps going. Operations, marketing, nutrition. By phone, text, email, and video, whenever you need it.
Market & CompetitionHealthy, on-the-go food stopped being a trend and it became how many people eat.
Yes, the big national chains own the large locations sitting on pad sites. But they're built to be big and corporate.
That's the opening.
This brand has two edges:
1. Supplements give you a second revenue line under the same roof.
2. A small owner-run shop builds loyalty a regional chain never will. Customers begin to know who's behind the counter. They know your name and you know theirs.
Growth OpportunitiesOne store is just the start for most operators.
Here's where this can go:
1. Add a mobile trailer unit and serve events, fairs, and busy spots without signing a second lease. You bring the shop to the crowd.
2. Cater inside your territory and you tap corporate orders, schools, and events. That's revenue most shops leave on the table.
3. Open more units and build a small local network instead of running just one location.
4. Then there's the supplements side. Every customer who walks in for a smoothie is a chance to grow the basket. Two revenue lines, one counter.
That's how one shop becomes something bigger.
