Sip Fresh Expands East with First 3-Unit Deal in Florida

Sip Fresh announced today a three-unit franchise agreement with Marine Corps veteran Ryan McGrail who plans to bring the beverage concept to Central Florida including the cities of Tampa, Orlando, and Sarasota. Offering a variety of refreshing and flavorful Sips, the beverage concept is the perfect complement to one of the fastest-growing areas in the nation. A bustling new hub for young families and busy professionals, McGrail and the Sip Fresh team are thrilled to bring this breakthrough specialty beverage concept to Florida residents.

As an established leader, forward thinker, and businessman, 35-year-old McGrail is looking forward to embarking on his entrepreneurial journey with Sip Fresh. He values being an early adopter with Sip Fresh and collaborating with an established leadership team from which he can learn and grow.

“I’ve always dreamed of owning a business, and now is the time,” said McGrail.

Prior to Sip Fresh, McGrail served as an officer in the Marine Corps and had the distinct honor of leading fellow Marines and Sailors through multiple deployments overseas – an experience that forged his leadership and interpersonal skills. He then transitioned into a career in enterprise software sales, which further equipped him with an essential business and success-driven mindset. As McGrail evaluated his options, he valued Sip Fresh’s business model. As he begins his entrepreneurial journey, he will leverage these leadership and business skills to propel his Sip Fresh stores to success.

“We are ecstatic to bring on an established leader like Ryan as our newest franchisee to introduce Sip Fresh in Tampa,” said Sharon Arthofer, Founder and CEO of Sip Fresh.
