FRANCHISING - WHY SMOOTHIE FACTORY?First and foremost, Smoothie Factory blends good health with great taste in a product that's low in calories, high in nutritional content, and made with real fruit. Our wide variety of recipes is guaranteed to satisfy the flavor preferences of virtually every customer. Plus, we sell a wide selection of brand-name nutritional products for less, every day, at 30% to 50% off MSRP! Smoothie Factory aggressively finds the lowest price on all items without sacrificing quality or customer appeal, and our Owner/Operators are free to buy identical items through outside vendors if they find better pricing. Our commitment to value combined with our large inventory and price-point difference attracts a large customer base beyond our devoted smoothie aficionados, and has made us a leader in nutritional product sales. At the same time, these items help to expand our customer base and fuel impulse purchases of our high-margin smoothies. This dual strategy gives you an added advantage - and a greater chance to attract and satisfy more customers. Top-Notch Training & Ongoing SupportSmoothie Factory Owner/Operators have always played a major role in the company's ongoing success - and our Owner/Operators' success is due, in large part, to the training we provide from day one. We offer each Owner/Operator a one-week training program at our headquarters and on-site assistance during the opening of each Smoothie Factory store. Our hands-on training is augmented by the materials you'll need to launch and operate a successful Smoothie Factory franchise, including comprehensive business forms and coaching tools. Unwavering Quality - And Lots of ItFrom our beginnings in 1996, Smoothie Factory has maintained a steadfast commitment to product quality. A majority of Smoothie Factory's premium smoothies are blended with real fruits only - without concentrates or purees - and we've translated that recipe into an unbeatable variety of delicious products. |
