Franchise

Smoothie Industry:

Smoothies are the fast food for the new millennium. Consumers who once grabbed a candy bar for a mid-morning snack are now opting for healthier, fresher alternatives such as blended real fruit drinks.

This year Smoothie sales generated by juice bars and other retail venues are estimated to exceed $2 billion. This is a phenomenal figure considering that the average price for a Smoothie is around $4.00. The Smoothie market has grown by more than 30 percent each year for the past four years and is not showing any signs of slowing down; there is room in the market sector for continuing growth for some time to come.

"The retail sector of the Juice and Smoothie business remains strong and we are confident that this segment will continue to show positive gains this year," Dan Titus, Director of the Juice and Smoothie Association stated. "The Juice and Smoothie business is such a lucrative venture. Smoothie-type products are sold all over the world - on cruise ships and golf courses; in bars, movie theaters and hospitals. Companies are seeing this market as a growth opportunity," Titus said. "Consumers are looking for an alternative to soda; the healthy attitudes that consumers are expressing reflects in the smoothie trend."
