Juiceblendz Franchise Expands to Michigan

Franchise and Employment Opportunities Available with Popular Smoothie Chain as Result of Continued Growth and Success

June 26, 2013 // Franchising.com // WESTON, FL – JuiceBlendz, the popular South Florida-based smoothie franchise, is pleased to announce national expansion plans with its first Michigan location scheduled to open later this summer.

According to Adam Ogden, founder and CEO of JuiceBlendz, “We are thrilled to grow our franchise in a completely new market. Since opening our first site in 2005, we have grown exponentially in the South Florida market. An aggressive national franchise plan has always been part of the company’s growth strategy. We are pleased to have expanded our presence in Florida, Oklahoma, Kentucky, and now Michigan.”

JuiceBlendz International, which operates the JuiceBlendz and YoBlendz franchises, has experienced great success with both traditional and non-traditional locations such as those within stadiums/arenas, college campuses, high schools and convenience stores.

“JuiceBlendz is committed to the continuing expansion, growth and success of our stores and franchise system,” continues Ogden. “As the brand continues to develop and strengthen, we remain dedicated to providing the highest quality product. And, with continued growth comes employment opportunities. The door is certainly open for dedicated individuals in Michigan who want to be a part of our growing team, which is a rare opportunity in today’s job market.”

Franchisees TJ and Dana Mettler found the JuiceBlendz franchise through working with Brigitte Betser of FranNet of Michigan. She helped pair them with JuiceBlendz because of their desire to offer a healthy alternative to fast food and other quick service restaurant formats. “We wanted to open a franchise that had a solid name and reputation, and the natural ingredients and healthy nature of the product really stood out to us. We are pleased to become the newest franchisee of the JuiceBlendz brand,” stated TJ Mettler. The couple plans to hire a minimum of 15 employees, and is preparing their Downtown Grand Rapids location (15 Ionia Ave. SW, Suite 100) for a grand opening in August.

The American Dream Isn’t Dead …

That’s right, the American dream isn’t dead!  In fact, it's very much alive! The unemployment rate for June 2013 was a half-percentage better than June 2012.  Just over the month, 175,000 positions were created. It's been slowly improving from the recent record low of 10.2 percent in October 2009. 

But, if you're exploring business ownership just because of these reports, beware! Its important to explore those businesses that have the ability to thrive in all economic conditions - both good and bad.

The question is how to do that! This is just one of the topics we cover in our upcoming seminar called “Franchising as a Career, an Investment, or Both!” This event is FREE, and will take place on June 25 in Grand Rapids, MI. For more information, please visit frannet.com/bbetser, email bbetser@frannet.com or call 616-891-1374.
