We are raising money for a dear and close friend who has been diagnosed with a brain tumor. He is only 18 years old and will be getting surgery in another state. His entire family wants to be there, and we want to help raise funds so they have the provisions necessary while he undergoes treatment and recovers from surgery.
Please donate today and help Joey & his family in this most difficult time.
42% of your revenue should be coming from frozen beverages on your menu. The national average of restaurants/coffee shops/café’s/etc. that are making this a reality, is around 10%. If you’re not, we ask “why not?”
The frappe/smoothie industry is a $2 billion industry, and is expected to grow an additional 25% within the next 2-3 years! When you lump it in with the beverage industry as a whole, it’s roughly $52 billion! Wake up folks!! If you are not looking at how you can capitalize on this, you are essentially throwing $$$ away!
For about 2 sq. ft. of space for a blender and product, you will have a money making machine!! The profit margin for the frozen beverage base that we use is around 80%. That’s 80%!!! Did you know that major burger chains are open for business just to sell you a soft drink? It is the main reason they sell burgers!! Frozen beverages are the next best in margin, and require even less overhead and maintenance. Just check out the potential:
Frozen beverages allow you to add a classy frozen beverage or dessert – signature drink to your menu, while maintaining and enhancing your image in your own market, and pay you handsomely at the same time. According to www.foodchannel.com , #6 on “The Top Ten Beverage Trends in 2011” explains how McDonalds, Steak ‘n’ Shake and Sonic are all as focused on specialty and frozen drinks as they are on burgers and fries, with many more companies looking to jump on the bandwagon.
The potential is enormous, and YOUR specialty frozen drink can be just that, YOURS! Coming up with the right drink for your market, and the strategy to implement is exactly what we do!! So what exactly are you waiting for?? Contact Michael and I today to get you moving!!!

When I was a kid we didn’t bob for apples, we bobbed for Baby Ruth candy bars floating in Mountain Dew. It looked disgusting, but as a kid, it was a big hit. Floating poop in pee, what could be more creative than that? Well, a smoothie with a Red Bull float (haha) and a small Baby Ruth on top.
Watch the video to see how to make this creative smoothie with Baby Ruth and Red Bull!

Did you know that smoothie consumption has grown 80% over the last 5 years? It’s a $2B industry! That doesn’t include international sales either. This is big business. According to smoothiestatistics.com, there are more than 6,000 smoothie shops in the US, and that is expected to triple in the next 10 years.
It’s just not the stand alone smoothie shops that sell smoothies these days. The best Specialty Coffee Shops generate at least 42% of their profits from smoothie sales, according to the NCA Coffee Report, 2010.
That’s why my buddy Brett Stokes and I started Smoothieguys.com. There is so much market data and demand that we decided to take our passion and share our expertise with the world. Our vision is to become your expert advisors for all things smoothies.
In the coming months we’ll be demonstrating how to make smoothies, talking about best practices, conducting product comparisons, and publishing video blogs.
Stay tuned, we’re just getting started!
