How the Franchise Started?

Smoothie Factory was founded in 1996 in Texas, USA by former Olympic athlete James Villasana, who created a smoothie concept focused on high-quality, real fruit ingredients and nutritional balance. The brand expanded rapidly across the United States throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s, and by 2009 had grown to more than 60 stores across multiple American states.

Interest in international development led Smoothie Factory to establish master franchise partnerships in multiple countries, with international stores opening from 2011 onward.

Over the years, Smoothie Factory has become one of the largest global juice bar concepts with 450+ locations worldwide and a presence in regions including the Middle East, Asia, Europe, and Australia via international franchise development partners.
