Founded in 1996 by Olympic athlete James Villasana, Smoothie Factory is an international franchise that makes healthy, delicious and nutritious smoothies more easily accessible to the public.

There are currently over 50 Smoothie Factory locations established internationally.

As the push for health-focused food and drink options continues among the general public, Smoothie Factory is positioned for ongoing growth as it works to meet steady demand from consumers.

Smoothie Factory provides nutritious, delicious menu items ranging from smoothies and juices to yogurts, superfood bowls, sandwiches and salads. Created by an athlete, the brand aims to provide great-tasting food that uses more fresh ingredients and reduces unnecessary add-ins where possible to keep customers fueled and feeling good.

With both traditional and kiosk build-out options, Smoothie Factory has a flexible business model that can be adapted to fit the needs of any space available within a given market.
