Investment details (AUD – estimated):

– Estimated franchise fee and setup: AUD 80,000+ (indicative for kiosks with small footprints) – Total estimated investment: AUD 120,000 – 180,000+ (depending on store format, equipment, and fit-out)

How the Franchise Started?

Shakez started in Melbourne, Australia, when founder Ashvin Sridhar identified a gap in the market for high-protein, nutritious grab-and-go beverage and meal-alternative options focused on health and performance. Built around the concept of “Drinkfood” — blended drinks designed to function as satisfying meals — the first Shakez kiosk was launched in a compact retail footprint to deliver fast, fulfilling nutrition without empty calories.

Over time, Shakez evolved its business model to emphasise a simple, healthy alternative to traditional fast food, blending smoothies, protein shakes, juices, and wholesome snack items that work as pre-workout, post-workout, or daily meal replacements.

The brand expanded into franchising, offering entrepreneurs the opportunity to operate a Shakez store with a turnkey business model, full training, and brand support across Australia.
