If you are looking for a significant franchise opportunity with a low cost of entry and a high upside potential, you may be a great candidate to be an Emerald City Smoothie franchise owner.

One of the most important things that set Emerald City Smoothie apart from the crowd is its unique brand promise. Emerald City Smoothie delivers healthy, nutritionally dense smoothies with unbeatable taste. When you're getting started, this unique concept contributes to a shorter time to break even. Even better, over the long run, it means that you own a defensible brand that is very difficult to copy.

We've also built our uniqueness beyond the product. We build customer loyalty everyday through:

• A personal service philosophy that turns our employees into part of our customer's fitness-support team, which keeps customers coming back, according to the Parker LePla Emerald City Smoothie Customer Study 2005
• The right supplements for any health goal from weight loss to bulking up
• Smoothie recipes that won us the "best of" smoothie category in a Seattle poll, featuring a unique blending process that creates a smooth, refreshing, but never-watery, taste
• World-class visual branding and store design that helps draw customers into your stores and makes selection of high-margin add-on products easy. Click here for a virtual tour of one of our world-class locations.
  
• Corporate marketing, training, site selection, and quality control services

Emerald City Smoothie also features all the benefits of franchising including our formula for operating a business that helps avoid many business mistakes commonly made by new business owners. Today, one out of every seven dollars spent by Americans for retail goods and services is spent in a franchised or independent product distribution business (source: IFA Franchise Opportunity Guide, p. 31, Fall/Winter 2004). Franchising generates an estimated $1.5 trillion in the U.S. economy annually (source: www.franchise.org/opportunities). The combination of the franchisor's expertise and your hard work create the potential for a strong business. With a franchise, you are in business for yourself, not by yourself!
