The Key to Your Success
Tropical Smoothie Café's promise is to teach its franchisees to deliver unparalleled hospitality and original, healthy, fresh food and beverages. Tropical Smoothie Café recently received Nation's Restaurant News 2010 MenuMaster Award for Best Menu Revamp. It is ranked #181 in Entrepreneur Magazine's 2010 Franchise 500, #142 in America’s Top Global Franchises and ranked in the Top 50 Franchises for Veterans, as seen in USA Today, Franchise Today (April 2010).
All the rankings in the world don't matter if you aren't passionate about great food and smoothies. Making repeat customers requires more than just a quick bite to eat. It requires an experience – The Tropical Smoothie Café Experience. As a Tropical Smoothie Café franchisee, you'll provide the experience and we'll provide you the training and support. This formula turns visitors into happy repeat customers.
Your success is intertwined in the overall success of the company. Tropical Smoothie Café offers you some of the best advantages in the industry:
Brand Recognition
When people think of a fun and healthy place to eat, they think of Tropical Smoothie Café. Tropical Smoothie Café is the place where you can treat yourself and feel good about it later. Your café and smoothie franchise fee includes the right to use Tropical Smoothie Café's trademark, trade secrets, recipes, operating system, proprietary technology, training procedures and a great support staff that's always at the ready.
Location! Location! Location!
Our professional site consultation firm provides corporate site analysis, specific to your market. With our demographic and analytical tools we can provide you with plenty of data to make the best choice when it's time to set up shop.
Tropical Smoothie Café offers very flexible real estate options given the fact that our concept requires no grills, vents, hoods or fryers. This allows us to operate in both traditional fast casual retail spaces as well as non-traditional venues like malls, kiosks, universities, hospitals and airports.

Tropical Training
We want you to be confident in your role as a franchisee.

Our Innovations
What's good for you is good for all of us.
We're always finding ways to help franchisees streamline the daily operations of their business. We also analyze all aspects of the business: leases, equipment packages, construction, marketing, and product development.
We keep food costs in line with our state-of-the-art portion control system. We'll also provide you with easy-to-follow procedures and technology to keep track of sales and other crucial business statistics.
Some of our best ideas have come from our franchisees. These are the kind of ideas that come from a desire to do more and be better – the kind of ideas that blindside you while you're shaving or sitting in traffic. When our franchisees have a way to enhance the Tropical Smoothie Café experience, we're all ears.

Truck Loads of Savings
If you buy in bulk, you get smaller per unit prices. We also use our expert negotiating skills to get even better pricing on the products that are crucial for your Tropical Smoothie Café.
In the early days (when our operation was run out of a thatched hut on the beach), our supply chain consisted of the occasional seaplanes that landed in the bay. It worked for us then, but as we grew, we saw the need to do better for our system. Our current supply chain is a finely tuned, super-efficient, logistical marvel; capable of getting you everything you'll need on time, efficiently and at a low cost.

"I feel that there is a great deal of communication from Tropical Smoothie corporate to me as an area developer. We have FranConnect, a system we can go on and interact with other franchisees and area developers. We have newsletters that come out. We even have a text messaging system that we've just started...
There's just a lot
of communication."
