International Beverage Chain Smoothie King Is Expanding in San Antonio

International beverage chain Smoothie King is planning to expand its San Antonio-area footprint, according to a recently submitted permit application.

Seeking permission to construct a new outpost in the Alamo City at 21038 US Hwy 281 #105 — near establishments such as Chick-fil-A, La Fitness, and Summer Moon Coffee — should the growth effort continue as planned, the location will mark the city’s 17th shop.

What Now San Antonio contacted the outpost’s franchisee, Thomas Nguyen , to inquire about the expansion, but he could not provide additional information before publication.

Nevertheless, the filing offers further insight.

Described as the interior finish-out of an existing 1,427-square-foot space — scheduled to begin on August 1, 2024, and be completed on November 20, 2024 — the project will cost an estimated $150,000 in total.

For readers who are unfamiliar with the chain, the business offers a brief description of its value system on its website : “All Smoothie King locations adhere to the brand’s Clean Blends Promise, which prioritizes great-tasting smoothies with more whole fruits and vegetables while removing artificial flavors, colors preservatives, and added sugars in many of its blends. This commitment to blend a more nutritious smoothie from the bottom of the cup up is exemplified by Smoothie King’s strict ‘No-No List’ of ingredients prohibited from entering blends.”

An opening date has not been announced. Follow Smoothie King on Facebook for updates.
