I know a guy that owns several of them and from what he’s told me that stores have to get a lot of traffic to be profitable. He won the contract for the one in the new children’s hospital and said he expected it to be top 5 in the state.
He also ran the one in the mall and was counting down the days until the lease ran up. The average mall of LA clientele wasn’t into smoothies and it was losing money, take that how you want it

Money at smoothie King is made in the sale of vitamins. Franchisees don't get it, many many years ago that model has changed and now it's just a chain selling drinks. Like any chain that grows quality changes to increase profit so franchisees can make something but it's not that much for the effort per year. Glad I remember how to make them at home and I own a vitamin so, I never go anymore.

Two Perkins Road Smoothie King locations close
By Julia Arenstam
Two Smoothie King locations along Perkins Road have closed this week. Whether the closures are permanent is unclear.
A handwritten sign posted on the door of the 7673 Perkins Road location near Essen Lane in Ichiban Square on Wednesday afternoon reads “closed until further notice.”
A similar sign at the 3627 Perkins Road location in the Acadian-Perkins Plaza appeared to have been ripped off the door. Neither location was answering phone calls. Facebook pages for both locations state they are “permanently closed.”
Media representatives from Smoothie King’s corporate office couldn’t be reached for comment before this afternoon’s deadline.
The Perkins and Essen location signed a lease for its space in late 2017, relocating from a smaller building nearby.

That is true but Amazon is on the verge of putting GNC out of business, and I’m sure Smoothie King realizes they can’t compete in vitamin sales a long time ago. The money is in the sale of Smoothies/Snacks.

I know the Franchisee he has been trying to sell them for awhile, but they are all low volume locations. Probably going to help the other existing Zees in the area’s sales go up though.
