Tropical Smoothie Cafe now has over 1500 locations in the US after opening 161 stores last year.
Franchisee Mike Haines opened his eighth cafe in Cumming, Georgia, last November, the brand’s 1500th Tropical Smoothie Cafe.
Moreover, the company signed 247 new franchise agreements and expanded its product range with the launching of Bahama Mama Bowl and PB Protein Crunch Bowl.
“Reaching 1500 cafes open is no small feat, and the remarkable growth driven by the brand is a testament to our entire team and franchise network,” said Max Wetzel, Tropical Smoothie Cafe CEO.
“Heading into 2025, we remain focused on strategic growth and strengthening ties with our franchisees while also continuing to be at the forefront of industry innovation.”
Last November, the company said it appointed Wetzel as the new CEO, succeeding Charles Watson, who stepped down after more than 16 years with the company.
