Café Business Plan

With franchise backgrounds and experience, Tropical Smoothie Franchise founders, Eric and Delora Jenrich and David Walker, established the Tropical Smoothie Franchise Development Corporation and opened the first cafe business plan franchise in Tallahassee, Florida in 1997. As the business expanded they recruited people from the food industry and in 2006 the former vice-president of operations of Cold Stone Creamery, Jim Valentino, became president and chief operating officer of Tropical Smoothie Franchise. Due to the rapid growth of the cafe business plan franchises, two outside companies were hired to assist with the operation.

Tropical Smoothie Franchise started out as a smoothie shop in 1993 and today the Tropical Smoothie Franchise Development Corporation offers a cafe business plan franchise to people who become part of a franchise chain of over 250 fruit snack outlets in Florida and over thirty other US states and also in India. In 2000 Tropical Smoothie Franchise teamed up with the noted Boar's Head brand and the holders of the cafe business plan franchise exclusively offer their customers Boar's Head meat, soups and cheese.

The cafe business plan franchise outlets offer customers welcome frozen treats during a hot summer. Tropical Smoothie Franchise provides people with exceptional cafe business plan franchises that specialize in real fruit smoothies, and the menu includes low fat dessert and power varieties of Blimey Limey, Mocha Madness, Blue Lagoon and Get Up and Go. A Tropical Smoothie Franchise cafe business plan also includes the provision of sandwiches, wraps, salads, flatbread sandwiches and children's and breakfast items. The cafe business plan of Tropical Smoothie Franchise ensures that smoothies contain no artificial ingredients and no sweeteners are added unless requested by customers.

In order to ensure the viability of a site and location of a new cafe business plan franchise, Tropical Smoothie Franchise completes a thorough research. Tropical Smoothie Franchise is on the SBA's Franchise Registry and participates in the IFA's VetFran program. Qualified veterans who are interested in running a 25,000 dollar cafe business plan franchise will benefit from a 50% reduced fee. In 2007 Tropical Smoothie Franchise celebrated its 10th anniversary and, at a pace of every six or seven days, a new outlet opens its doors. Consumers are aware of the benefits of the healthier snack options offered by the cafe business plan franchises and, according to Mentel, sales are expected to rise 68% over the next five years.

To provide a tropical ambience for cafe business plan franchise holders, Tropical Smoothie Franchise has redesigned the decor to one that offers bamboo clad walls, palm trees, bright colors and original Bob Stedman artwork. In order to give back to the communities in which they operate, the cafe business plan franchise holders of Tropical Smoothie Franchise annually host "National Flip-Flop Day" and the first 500 customers to show up wearing flip-flops on the first day of summer receive a free 24 ounce Jetty Punch smoothie. Tropical Smoothie Franchise donates the proceeds of a 1 dollar paper flip-flop given to the cafe business plan franchise holders by customers to send ill children and their families to Camp Sunshine.
