Smoothie King recognizes stores for outstanding sales

August 20, 2013

Smoothie King Franchises Inc. has awarded nearly 100 stores from across its international network with the 8th annual King's Klub award. Smoothie King's most prestigious honor, the King's Klub, acknowledges franchisees' top-performing stores with annual sales of more than $500,000, according to a company press release. The smoothie concept saw a 41-percent increase in King's Klub recipients, as compared to the previous year. At the inception of the King's Klub in 2005, the first seven stores were honored for their achievements.

"Smoothie King would like to congratulate all of our King's Klub members and thank them for their ongoing commitment and dedication to the success of our brand," said Smoothie King Global CEO Wan Kim. "These franchisees have demonstrated outstanding performance that continues to raise the bar for our growing system."

In addition to the nearly 70 U.S. stores that accomplished over $500,000 sales in 2012, Smoothie King's Lafayette, La., location had the best sales performance in the U.S. with more than $1.3 million in sales last year. On the international front, four of Smoothie King's South Korea locations generated annual sales of more than $1 million, including one store with a record-breaking $2 million.

Smoothie King plans to add 1,000 new franchised and corporate locations domestically over the next five years.
