Smoothie King (SKFI)

For more than 50 years, Smoothie King has been focused on one thing: making nutrition delicious. We’re excited to see Ben Coley from QSR Magazine highlight the next chapter of our brand evolution and the work happening across the system to bring our Brand to life in even more meaningful ways. This evolution is about creating a relevant and differentiated guest experience across every touchpoint — from menu innovation and store experience to messaging — while continuing to support franchisee profitability and long-term growth. As we look ahead, we remain committed to our vision: to make the world a better place by nourishing healthy habits. Thank you to our franchisees, team members, and guests who are part of this journey with us. https://lnkd.in/ev8tDBds

As a brand, Smoothie King is committed to ensuring our stores are a place free of discrimination of any kind, where every guest and team member is treated with care and respect. Following an investigation into an incident involving a guest who was refused service at a franchised location in Michigan yesterday, the franchise owner has taken immediate action and the two employees involved are no longer with the business. Both the franchise owner and Smoothie King corporate have reached out to the guest several times to apologize and will continue to follow up. The local owner is also taking further action and enforcing mandatory retraining for all employees that outlines our guest experience standards.

Honoring Our Veterans Today and Every Day Today, we honor and thank all veterans and active military personnel for their service and sacrifice, especially the many veterans within our Smoothie King family, including our franchisees. As a small token of gratitude, veterans and active-duty military can enjoy a free 20oz smoothie at participating Smoothie King locations today between 12–3 PM. This Veterans Day, we’re proud to highlight Bobby Moore, a veteran, former law enforcement officer, and dedicated Smoothie King franchisee. Bobby grew up surrounded by service, following in the footsteps of his father and brother to join the military. After years of service and a successful career in law enforcement, he chose to channel his leadership, discipline, and teamwork into entrepreneurship. Drawn to Smoothie King’s mission of inspiring people to live a healthy and active lifestyle, Bobby found a new way to serve his community through business ownership. “You already have what it takes. The discipline, the resilience, the ability to adapt, use those same skills in your next mission.” – Bobby Moore We’re proud to have leaders like Bobby representing Smoothie King and inspiring others to lead with purpose, in and out of uniform. Thank you to all who have served and continue to serve. Your strength inspires us every day.   #VeteransDay #ThankYouVeterans #SmoothieKing #VeteranOwned #Leadership
