Redford, Michigan-based Blenderz, an acai and smoothie bar with a retro vibe, is franchising amidst the opening of its first modular container location in Mio, Michigan.

With the success of its first Michigan location in Royal Oak, the franchise is set to open its second Michigan smoothie bar this summer and is looking toward national growth via franchising. Next Brands, a manager and growth accelerator, is leading the expansion by using low-cost shipping containers to quickly open locations and cut development time by half, according to Austin Capoferi, president of Next Brands.

"We are thrilled to announce the national franchise opportunity with Blenderz," he said in a company press release. "With the upcoming Blenderz location in Michigan and the offering of our inventive modular locations, we know that the franchise opportunity will allow us to strategically grow into new markets effectively, and provide innovative and fresh Blenderz products to guests across the nation."

With franchise opportunities available across the nation and the Blenderz App in development, the brand provides a modular location concept for an all-in price of $200,000 and reduces the labor needed to only three to four employees. With the design, the service time is reduced to 3-to-5 minutes and helps with the processing time of preparing and keeping every ingredient fresh for guests, Capoferi said.
