Franchise Profile
Our Model
At Blendz, we love simplicity. We want it simple and easy for our customers to get a great, healthier meal - fast. So we have created our menu with four main product lines to meet those needs: deliciously fresh tossed-to-order salads, grilled panini sandwiches, blended smoothies and gourmet soups. We also, depending on the location, offer gourmet coffee and espresso drinks.
Simplicity also means simple to operate. All of our locations do not require any kitchen or cooking. That means less initial expense, less ongoing hassle, and more time to spend with your customers! The design was to be a simple operation, a simple menu, but an extensively complete concept.
Why Blendz
The convenience of finding healthier menu items is not an option available to most, especially when time is a factor. At Blendz, we're not just a smoothie & juice bar or just a salad spot, and we're certainly not just a panini restaurant. We do ALL three and then some while enthusiastically serving it to you in the time it would take to go to a drive-thru window, place your order and pay. Yes…that fast.
It's all about choices, and that's exactly what we provide to our customers. A choice to create their very own salad; a choice to make their own smoothie recipe; a choice to stay and eat in a lively atmosphere; or a choice to take it to-go. With all the choices offered, you don't have to choose when it comes to a finding a place that serves up FUN. FRESH. FOOD. Because at Blendz, you can choose to have it all!
The Look
How our restaurants look is just as important as other aspects of the brand. A clean, professional and fun look is important for any restaurant, but consistency and familiarity is crucial for our success as a franchise. When customers walk into our stores, they should feel like they have entered a Blendz. This begins what we call the Blendz experience.
The light maple cabinetry with black granite countertops and accents of brushed silver are our standard counter looks. Green and purple walls make for a fun and vibrant feel while customers are inside. But we also look to make a unique charm for each location and utilize the current construction to make sure our restaurant blendz in with the architecture.
We provide complete architectural and space plans for your locations as part of our franchise. We will work with you to make sure your location becomes a Blendz in look and feel!
