As <a href="http://www.smoothiekingfranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=smoothie-king-continues-focus-on-new-units-amid-strong-same-store-sales-growth-1932" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Smoothie King</a> continues to raise the bar on same-store sales, the franchise is also gearing up for significant new unit growth. The New Orleans-based smoothie innovator already tallies over 700 locations worldwide, but that number keeps ticking higher and higher thanks to attractive sales, loyal customers and, most importantly, passionate franchisees. &#8220;Smoothie King had a huge year in 2014, and we&#8217;re thrilled the momentum has continued into 2015,&#8221; Dan Hannah, vice president of international and domestic business development for Smoothie King, said. &#8220;Growth like this is what will allow us to hit 1,000 locations by 2017 and help spread our message of a healthy, active lifestyle across the U.S. and abroad.&#8221; Sales growth has been strong and steady for the smoothie slingers, whose first quarter saw a sizable growth in sales, with same-store sales increasing 10.4 percent higher on an annual basis. That momentum has continued into Q2 and shows no signs of slowing. &#8220;There&#8217;s not one magic answer that&#8217;s pushed the needle. It&#8217;s been a combination of our new product launches, marketing initiatives and passionate franchisees,&#8221; Smoothie King Franchise Development Manager Chad Tramuta said. While this growth is a huge achievement for Smoothie King, the franchise has loftier milestones on the horizon, like its goal of opening 1,000 units by 2017. &#8220;We have more franchisees than ever expressing interest in growth,&#8221; said Stephen Foley, franchise development manager at Smoothie King. &#8220;We attribute that to confidence in our brand, from the product to the entire team. The overall excitement is at an all-time high.&#8221; With steady sales growth and a forecast for a thriving future, it seems that Smoothie King has found its recipe for success. The smoothie innovator has been one of America&#8217;s best kept secrets for some time, but as Tramuta put it, &#8220;The secret&#8217;s out.&#8221;
