A brand-new Tropical Smoothie CafƩ will soon be serving fresh and healthful meals and smoothies to the community of Lake Jackson. Brother-in-laws and franchise co-owners, Bennie Ashley and Josh Lorenzo, have partnered to bring the rapidly expanding fast-casual cafƩ concept to 95 Oyster Creek Drive, Lake Jackson, TX 77566.
This venture is the first of three planned Tropical Smoothie CafƩ locations. The dynamic duo has already purchased three franchise licenses, with plans for the second store in Galveston and the third location still being finalized.
Ashley and Lorenzo’s journey into the Tropical Smoothie CafĆ© franchise was inspired by a close friend who now owns several franchised locations. This friend has become their mentor in navigating the franchising process.
“Everything we’ve seen so far has made the corporation great to work with,” Ashley commented, highlighting the support the duo has received from Tropical Smoothie CafĆ©.
The Tropical Smoothie CafĆ© franchise, known for its innovative menu of healthy food options and creative smoothies, has gained immense popularity across the nation. The franchise’s dedication to serving ‘food with a purpose’ and emphasis on fresh, natural, and high-quality ingredients aligns well with today’s health-conscious consumers.
While the immediate focus is on successfully launching their first cafƩ, Ashley and Lorenzo have set ambitious long-term goals. They plan to own and operate ten Tropical Smoothie CafƩ locations within the next 6-7 years, expanding their reach throughout Texas.
The first location is set to open sometime in Winter 2023.
