Eric Grush and Brett Lawson recently signed a deal to open five Smoothie King units in the Greater Birmingham area.

The pair weren’t familiar with the city before settling on it for their franchise locations, but they’re already starting to love it.

Lawson told the Birmingham Business Journal, “We really like the area. The landscape is beautiful there. There are several thriving retail areas.”

Smoothie King’s menu offers a variety of fruits, vegetables and protein, making it a great addition to health-conscious Birmingham.

Grush and Lawson are searching for properties for their five locations and plan to open one with a drive-thru. Eventually, they hope to open multiple locations in Trussville, a nearby community.

The franchise has 700 locations nationwide, a majority of which are in the southeast.
