Pre-Qualification

A Tropical Smoothie Cafe Franchise Development Representative will contact you to provide an overview of what is involved in joining our franchise family and to answer any initial questions you may have.

STEP 2:

Franchise Application

Our franchise application is a brief four-page document, completed by you, that helps us get to know you, your business background and experience, financial capabilities, goals and interests, management style, etc. There is no cost associated with submitting your application and it is non-binding. It simply allows us to learn a little more about you!

STEP 3:

Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) Review/Business Planning Tools Provided

By law, every franchisor must deliver to its prospective Franchise Owner a copy of its FDD to ensure that the Franchise Owner prospect has all the pertinent information about our company, business model, and every aspect of our business relationship with our Franchise Owner. We will also provide you with business planning tools to continue your due diligence.

STEP 4:

Program Review

Once we have all required documentation on file, your Franchise Development Representative will schedule a time with you to do a Virtual Brochure Presentation, which will give you more detailed information on franchisee support, real estate procedures, design and construction process/assistance, and local and national marketing programs.

STEP 5:

Discovery Day (Optional)

We welcome you to come to our Support Center in Atlanta, GA, to meet the team in person. If this is of interest to you, your Franchise Development Representative can help you coordinate the details.

STEP 6:

Executive Committee Approval

Once our Franchise Leadership Team has approved your application and we have all the legally required documentation from you, we will draw up your Franchise Agreement.

STEP 7:

You’re now on your way to becoming a proud owner of a Tropical Smoothie Cafe!

The final step in our process is for you to sign the Franchise Agreement. Once the agreement is signed, the site selection process, and your journey to opening your first Tropical Smoothie Cafe begins.
