Robeks , the ultimate destination for nutrient-packed smoothies, fresh juices, acai bowls, and premium toasts, is getting ready to open several locations throughout Phoenix.

The California-based brand recently announced the signing of three new franchise deals, boosting the growth pipeline with eight new locations, according to QSR Magazine . K Squared Management has signed an agreement to open four new Robeks locations in the Phoenix suburbs of Gilbert, Chandler, and Queen Creek . The second group, led by Nash Bahnan , has signed an agreement to open one new Robeks in the Phoenix DMA .

Additionally, in California, Robeks is excited to join forces with a pair of seasoned business professionals who recognize the brand’s terrific potential in Northern California. Partners Sunil Bhatla and Navneet Bansal committed to a three-store development deal for San Jose, marking the brand’s entry into the Bay Area. This expansion represents a significant milestone for the brand, solidifying its commitment to redefining healthy living and flavorful indulgence.

“The addition of these three new franchisee groups highlights the impressive momentum driving Robeks’ franchise development,” Todd Peterson, Chief Development Officer for Robeks, tells QSR Magazine. “We continue to attract motivated and experienced operators who recognize the significant consumer demand for convenient and delicious healthy options. We are thrilled at the prospect of expanding our significant presence in Phoenix and of entering the Bay Area via San Jose, CA.”

After opening 15 locations in 2023, Robeks continues reinforcing new-store development in 2024 throughout prime growth markets across its home state of California and outward into Arizona, Ohio, Florida, Kansas, Illinois, Virginia, and Connecticut. Recently, the brand celebrated two grand openings in Los Angeles, attracting loyal fans, active families, and health-conscious consumers across the city. While Robeks is on track to open another 15 new locations this year, the brand is also committed to product innovation and menu efficiency, supporting its franchisees’ bottom line.
