ts_ad_DallasTropical Smoothie Café, the leading fast casual café concept known for its better-for-you food and smoothies with a tropical twist, announced today it signed franchise agreements to open three new restaurants in Dallas. This announcement is part of the award-winning smoothie franchise’s aggressive growth plans for the state of Texas, which kicked off in April 2015 with the opening of the company’s first Dallas location, quickly followed by additional cafés in Frisco and Fort Worth in June and August 2015, respectively. A fourth café is slated to open in the next several months at 4940 State Hwy 121 in Lewisville.

The three new Dallas cafés will be family-owned businesses, led by Calei and Kodei Kesterson, along with their parents Thomas and Darci.

“Tropical Smoothie Café has a reputation for creating delicious, better-for-you food and smoothies that make it easy for consumers to make health-conscious decisions even while on the go, and it was important to us to join a company that is committed to making healthier food accessible and affordable,” said Thomas Kesterson, Tropical Smoothie Café franchisee. “Dallas is a thriving community chock-full of potential for successful business endeavors, and we’re thrilled to be a part of the company’s growing presence throughout the area. We have no doubt that as more and more Dallas residents are introduced to the Tropical Smoothie Café concept, the community will count itself among the restaurant’s passionate following with consumers nationwide.”

Through April 30, guests can enjoy Tropical Smoothie Café’s newest menu items like the Cali Chicken Club Flatbread and Cilantro Lime Fish Tacos, as well as the Chia Banana Boost Smoothie and Avocolada Smoothie, which features avocado, lime, coconut, spinach, kale and pineapple. Additionally, now through February 2017 guests who visit before 9 a.m. daily will receive 50 percent off any of Tropical Smoothie Café’s fresh smoothies.

Tropical Smoothie Café reported its strongest year of growth in 2015, with same-stores sales of 11.25 percent — its sixth consecutive quarter of double-digit positive comp sales — and signed franchise agreements to develop 199 new cafes across the U.S., including about two dozen locations in Southern California. This year, the food and smoothie franchise plans to exceed 550 restaurants nationwide. The brand currently has franchise opportunities across the U.S. in markets such as Miami, Philadelphia, Boston, Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, Atlanta, Columbus and Charlotte, among others. By 2018, Tropical Smoothie Café plans to have 800 stores open across the U.S.

Tropical Smoothie Café is looking to add qualified franchisees to its growing brand. Candidates should have business experience;$125,000 in liquid assets and a minimum net worth of $350,000; and an initial investment of between $195,550 and $427,130. The healthy fast food franchise currently boasts an average unit volume (AUV) of more than $578,000 — the highest in the company’s 19-year history — with the top 50 percent reporting an AUV of $734,000.

franchisteTimesFranchise Times released their annual list of Fast and Serious franchise brands, highlighting the smartest-growing brands in the industry.

Tropical Smoothie Café made the list again, moving up 6 spots from last year to #34.

“A betting man might double down on the odds of Tropical Smoothie Café appearing on this list again in 2017,” the feature opens. What’s made them willing to wager? 24% unit growth over the past 3 years, 199 deals awarded in 2015, and a proven team in place to accomplish the plan. Things have ramped up at the Corporate Support Center with increased staff and focus on real estate. “If you want to be sustainable,” Rotondo said, “You have to be there for the franchisees.”

CEO Mike Rotondo added, “We have a finance program to help franchisees become multi-unit owners.” That program was established through BIP Capital, the brand’s investment group. About 45 percent of new agreements are coming from existing franchisees, a testament to the Tropical Smoothie Café’s know-how, process, and support.

Frames copy(1) copy(1)A new year means new trends for the food industry. According to forecasts from experts in the restaurant biz, while taste, price, and quality are still important, there’s a growing desire for food that is healthy, flavorful, and fresh.

No longer settling for anything quick, consumers want food that is free of additives, made with recognizable ingredients, and packs a punch when it comes to flavor. People want to feel good about themselves when they are eating out, not guilty. Other trends that made the list were vegetables as the star and preferences for savory flavors.

This year’s trends may lead to fast casual restaurants updating their offerings, but Tropical Smoothie’s “eat better. feel better” mantra comes through in our menu that is already full of fresh, natural, quality ingredients. From healthy smoothies made with vegetables and fruit, to food with bold and savory flavors, the only issue will be customers deciding which one to get.

Meet consumer demand by opening your own café. Tropical Smoothie Café is committed to offering fresh, natural, quality ingredients. With 480+ locations today and 199 deals signed in 2015, the fast casual brand has become an industry leader.
