Tropical Smoothie Cafe has reached a significant milestone, with the brand reaching its 1,500th location.

The store, located in Cumming at 3630 Browns Bridge Road, will host its grand opening on Nov. 15, 2024. This is the eight location for franchisee Mike Haines, who joined the company in 2015.

“Being part of such a special achievement for the Tropical Smoothie Cafe brand is truly an honor,” Haines said. “The sense of community within this brand is remarkable, and it makes celebrating moments like this even more rewarding. The positive response we’ve seen from guests across the Atlanta metro area has been incredible, and I’m excited to bring that same experience to the community of Cumming.”

Tropical Smoothie Cafe serves smoothies and bowls alongside savory items like wraps, flatbreads, sandwiches, salads and more. There are locations in 44 states.

The grand opening event will feature giveaways for guests and a steel drummer as well as a ribbon-cutting ceremony with the Chamber of Commerce at 11 a.m. Haines will also donate $1,500 to Meals by Grace, a local nonprofit organization that supports children facing food insecurity. Additionally, Tropical Smoothie Cafe will donate $1,500 to the brand’s partnered nonprofit, No Kid Hungry.   

“Mike’s success with his current locations makes him the perfect franchisee to expand with for this special opening,” Tropical Smoothie Cafe CEO Max Wetzel said in a statement. “We’re excited to celebrate this milestone in Georgia and look forward to seeing his new cafe thrive in the months ahead.”
