Smoothie King Meets with Franchise Interviews

Franchise interview with Smoothie King.

From a kitchen experiment to a successful international company, all stemming from a single purpose, Smoothie King introduced the nutritional fresh-blended smoothie in 1973. Founder Steve Kuhnau began blending real fruit, nutrients, and proteins at home, noticing a positive impact on his health. This led to the creation of the first Smoothie King.
