Tropical Smoothie Cafe is launching two new limited-time-offering sandwiches with the Island Buffalo Chicken Sandwich and the Moho Mojo Chicken Club, according to a company press release.

"Our average unit volume sales were up over 10 percent in the past year, which can be attributed to substantial growth on the food side of the business through bold, flavorful new products like these two sandwiches," said Mike Rotondo, CEO of Tropical Smoothie Cafe. "While we have not forgotten that smoothies are our heritage, it's the growth in sandwiches, wraps and other center-of-the-plate options that's drawing the attention of guests and potential franchisees."

Tropical Smoothie Cafe is partnering with Frank’s RedHot Buffalo Wing Sauce for co-branding efforts for the new Island Buffalo Sandwich, the release said. This product features grilled chicken, mozzarella and gorgonzola cheese, topped with house-made slaw tossed in a citrus dressing, and covered in a buffalo cheese spread. The Moho Mojo Chicken Club is served with bacon, avocado, mojo sauce and topped with a signature slaw. Both sandwiches are served on toasted brioche bread.

"We have seen a huge following from our customers who keep coming back time and time again for our unique and flavorful options that they can't get anywhere else," said Lisa Dimson, chief marketing officer for Tropical Smoothie Cafe. "This new line of hand-crafted sandwiches will not disappoint anyone looking for a hearty yet exciting bold take on a typical classic chicken sandwich."  

Tropical Smoothie Cafe has more than 450 locations nationwide.
