Smoothie King, the world’s largest smoothie brand and the first health and fitness fast casual brand of its kind, today announced its continued expansion in Colorado with 2 new store openings and 6 new store commitments within the state. The expansion comes on the heels of opening 5 new Smoothie King locations in Colorado in 2023.
The first of the two new franchise-owned stores opened earlier this fall in Longmont, Colorado, with the second store opening October 14 in Glendale, Colorado.
Smoothie King’s footprint in Colorado previously included 14 stores—with the addition of these 2 new stores and 6 future openings, the smoothie brand will expand its presence in the state by nearly 60%. The six future stores will open within the next three years, all within the following areas of the Denver DMA: Lafayette, Highlands Ranch, Wheat Ridge, Lakewood, Englewood, Parker.
“We are thrilled to expand our footprint not only in the Denver area—a key market for Smoothie King—but more broadly throughout Colorado, a state where we still have plenty of growth opportunity for new and existing franchisees,” said Chris Bremer, Chief Development Officer at Smoothie King. “We’re proud to show up in so many of Colorado’s communities, that like Smoothie King, are passionate about living healthy and active lifestyles.”
Colorado is ripe with opportunity for passionate entrepreneurs interested in entering the Smoothie King family as franchisees. Smoothie King is actively seeking talented candidates to further develop the market, with 64 trade areas currently available in the state.
