Smoothie Factory Juice Bar announced it added 20 new locations in 2014, for a total of 52 locations under its new parent company, BRIX Holdings LLC.

A revitalized Smoothie Factory Juice Bar store concept will open in Tucson, Arizona on March 1 near the University of Arizona and features a comprehensive fresh juice program, and incorporates Red Mango frozen yogurt. The store is part of a 7-store development plan for Arizona by existing franchisee, John Wilfert.

“It was an excellent year for Smoothie Factory,” said Chris Pfau, COO of Smoothie Holdings FC LLC, in a company press release. “Updating the store design, expanding the menu with fresh cold-squeezed juices and leveraging co-branding opportunities with Red Mango has positioned Smoothie Factory for further expansion in 2015.”

The company plans to add another 20 to 30 units in 2015 and, for a limited time, is offering zero royalties for six months, a SiteFinderSM guarantee and a $200,000 Super Boost BuyBack offer. Under the SiteFinder guarantee, the company’s real estate team will help identify a franchisee’s location within 12 months or the entire franchise fee may be refunded. Under the Super Boost BuyBack offer, the company will purchase a franchisee’s store for up to $200,000 and may assume the lease if the franchisee is not completely satisfied within the first 6 months of opening.
