According to a recent article in Fast Casual , the brand has signed an agreement with Dyne Hospitality Group to open 26 locations in the next few years. The first two are planned to open in Dallas-Fort Worth in early 2018.

"2017 was a year of incredible growth for us, as we significantly expanded Tropical Smoothie Cafe's presence in several markets across the country.
