New Franchise Commitments, Expanded Food Menu, and a New Strategic Investment Set the Stage for the Brand’s Next Chapter
DALLAS, TX (July 16, 2025) – Smoothie King, the world’s leading purpose-driven smoothie brand, today announced its Q2 business results, highlighted by a record-breaking sales weekend, strong franchise growth, new product innovation, and a strategic investment to fuel what’s next.
In June, Smoothie King achieved a major milestone with the biggest sales weekend in the brand’s 52-year history. Kicking off the weekend on Friday, June 20th, the brand reached its highest single-day system wide sales ever; and the momentum continued through National Smoothie Day on June 21st, which marked the brand’s busiest Saturday ever. The historic run was capped off by the highest-traffic Sunday of the year. The milestone signals a new chapter for Smoothie King with brand purpose and operational excellence working in greater lockstep to deliver even stronger results, ultimately laddering up to Smoothie King’s new brand vision: to make the world a better place by nourishing healthy habits.
On the development front, Smoothie King added 25 new store commitments across 12 states in Q2, with especially strong development in Georgia and Texas, each securing six new deals. The brand also welcomed six new franchisees into the system this quarter, reinforcing Smoothie King’s appeal among entrepreneurs seeking a purpose-driven brand with a proven track record of growth and operational excellence.
In a significant move to further accelerate the brand’s next chapter of growth, Smoothie King also recently announced a new strategic partnership with Main Post Partners, a leading private equity firm with a focus on founder-led, high-growth challenger brands. The minority investment from Main Post will support Smoothie King’s long-term strategy to continue driving accelerated growth and sustained market leadership.
Building on recent product innovation momentum, Smoothie King expanded the availability of its food menu—the brand’s first-ever food offerings—from a successful 14-store pilot to 100 locations across the Dallas-Fort Worth area in Q2. The expanded test also introduced new versions of its fluffy and flavor-filled Egg Clouds and savory Chicken Skewers, joining a delicious lineup of hearty toasts and protein boxes that complement the brand’s signature smoothies.
“Guests have been loving the fact that they don’t have to choose between flavor and nutrition —Smoothie King delivers both while helping nourish those healthy habits,” said Gavin Felder, President & Chief Financial Officer of Smoothie King. “Our brand is expanding in fun and exciting ways, from new franchisees and world-class investment partners to craveable new menu offerings, all while keeping guest satisfaction front and center.”

The concept, which will be available exclusively on June 4 at 1325 E. Belt Line Rd in Richardson, TX, is designed to support the brand’s core guests of runners, athletes, and holistic health and wellness-minded individuals, by making it easier to hydrate and recover right after a workout.

To mark this month-long celebration of nutrition, Smoothie King is offering New Healthy Rewards loyalty members $3 off their entire purchase throughout March, encouraging more people to experience the difference of clean, nutritious smoothies made with whole fruits and almonds.
“Almonds are my go-to smoothie power-up, filled with essential nutrients, like magnesium and vitamin E. If that wasn’t enough, promising research found that having 2 ounces of almonds daily may have a positive impact on exercise recovery,” said Dawn Jackson Blatner, RDN, CSSD. “So, if you’re looking for an easy way to support exercise recovery efforts and overall health—almonds are the perfect smoothie addition!”
This research1, funded by Almond Board of California and conducted for 4 weeks among 64 healthy, non-smoking U.S. male and female adults ages 30-65 who are occasional exercisers, found that study participants who ate 57g of almonds reported experiencing reduced fatigue and tension during muscle recovery, increased leg and lower back strength and decreased muscle damage during the first day of recovery post-exercise.
A Partnership Rooted in Purpose and Nutrition
Smoothie King and California Almonds share a mission of helping people live healthier, more active lives through better nutrition. This National Nutrition Month, the partnership highlights the importance of whole, nutrient-dense ingredients that support a variety of health and wellness goals.
“California Almonds is thrilled to be partnering with Smoothie King as we celebrate National Nutrition Month,” said Laura Morin, Director of North America and China Marketing, California Almonds. “Together, we’re encouraging everyone to commit to small changes to impact your overall wellbeing. Something as simple as adding almonds to your favorite Smoothie King blend can have a big nutritional impact on how you feel inside and out.”
