Smoothie King announces its moving HQ from Louisiana to Dallas, Texas

For a City known for Food we certainly seem to lose businesses like this to Texas
Smoothie King, founded in Kenner and headquartered in Metairie since 2013, will move its corporate headquarters to Dallas this summer, though it intends to keep a smaller, local office.
The Dallas Business Journal reports Smoothie King will join two of its major competitors, Smoothie Factory and Jamba Juice, in North Texas.

Been known for awhile, no surprise.
Unfortunately, its a smart move on their part.

It has nothing to do with that.
Dallas is known as a hub for Fast Food headquarters and therefore has a deep managerial labor pool for that industry.
Raisin' Canes did the same thing a decade ago.

No. I’m pretty sure it’s bc they’re scared of culture

When Todd Graves put a second HQ in Dallas, one thing he commented on was Louisiana lacks the personnel necessary to run a large corporation. And let's face it, we have exported our best and brightest to states like Texas that offers better opportunity and gives that state the ability to groom and produce people that can run a large corporation.
And we haven't even touched on the regulations and tax structure here.

Frisco, TX is quickly becoming the corporate HQ center of the universe.

Good riddance. Chains are not welcome in this area. Any establishment with multiple locations is garbage.

Slightly higher salaries with a lower cost of living, public schools as a legit option, and no income tax
Its not really a good business move for anyone in terms of attracting an employee base to be located in Louisiana

Currently based in Metairie, Louisiana, the brand will move to Irving’s Cypress Waters development in June to support its burgeoning footprint, said Smoothie King’s CEO Wan Kim.
Plano is still king though. Jcpenny, frito lay, Dr Pepper/Snapple, Toyota, Pizza Hut, cinemark, etc.
Frisco doesn’t have shite.
