Tropical Smoothie Café has come a long way since our first franchise opened in Tallahassee, Florida back in 1997. We sought to give our customers a place where they could relax while enjoying real fruit smoothies. By 1999, we’d expanded our menu to contain a wide range of healthy food options that perfectly complimented our smoothies. In 2000, we officially established the Tropical Smoothie Café name. In 2005, we updated the environment of our cafes to reflect the tropical vacation – a get-away from the everyday hustle and bustle. In 2006, we opened our 200th store in Virginia Beach, VA. In 2007, we celebrated our 10-year anniversary and we also started our own holiday – National Flip Flop Day! Today, we’re proud to announce that we now have more than 275 locations with plenty of new stores in the works, and they’re all providing that same terrific Tropical Smoothie Café Experience.
