Hurricane Harvey devastated many businesses in 2017, including a Tropical Smoothie Cafe locations in Rockport, Texas. According to a recent article in Fast Casual, the cafe has rebuilt and is celebrating its reopening this week.

"To see how our community has rallied together is nothing short of inspiring. Just a few months ago, Rockport was virtually unrecognizable but through perseverance and hard work, we have rebuilt our city. I'm excited to start serving my community again and am so grateful for Tropical Smoothie Cafe's endless support," said franchisee Pam Farley.

Farley was involved in community outreach efforts following the hurricane. She organized a drive alongside fellow local business owners to provide much-needed support to residents of the city. Her charitable efforts will continue past the reopening, as she intends to offer a donation collection at her cafe.
