Tropical Smoothie Cafe enjoyed a 6.4 percent increase in same-store sales, as well as 80 signed franchise agreements, in the first half of 2016.

"With a strong franchise development pipeline, enticing limited-time menu items and evolving technology with continued use of our new mobile ordering and payment app, we're on track to reach our goal of exceeding 550 restaurants this year and further establishing Tropical Smoothie Cafe as a leader in the marketplace," said Mike Rotondo, CEO, in a release.

The franchise agreements will further expand the concept in Albuquerque, Dallas, and Charleston.

The cafe plans to expand to a total of 800 restaurants by 2018.
