The business of Surf City Squeeze is to design, build and franchise blended fruit smoothie retail outlets. Founder Kevin Blackwell created the business concept in 1981 in Phoenix, Arizona. Since then, we've opened over 100 Surf City Squeeze locations nationwide. Surf City Squeeze expects to continue to expand the number of operations during the next five years to 400 locations. This expansion is based on the continuation of franchising, co-branding opportunities, expansion by current franchisees and through acquisitions.
The Surf City Squeeze franchising system has proven itself to be very successful. Because a significant number of existing franchisees are looking for additional locations as well as several prospective franchisees currently in the approval process to be granted franchises as they become available; our concept is rapidly expanding into markets all over the country.Our franchise department is able to assist in locating financing, site selection, construction coordination and even locating an accountant. The Franchise Department also strongly encourages interaction between the franchisees in order to create an expanded source for ideas, information, and support.
These are the advantages of franchising with Surf City Squeeze: instant name recognition in the marketplace, proven concept with proven profit potential, professional marketing, advertising, and training, pre-opening and Grand Opening training, reduced risk for franchisee.
