Fruit shakes are still the healthiest drinks around. Such an investment costs so little, they're cool and filling (especially, when the weather is scorching hot), and best of all, they taste great.
Where would you begin to look for a company that will allow you to do this. What type of investment would you need to make? I can't think of any places like that here.
Smoothie King is one of the only ones that I know of and the investment can be anywhere between $121-$251 k. I am not sure if that constitutes low start up.
Here, in the Philippines, we have fruit shake franchises everywhere. Franchise fee is around P30k. Retail branches are usually found almost anywhere there are malls. Less costing ones have no name, but are located wherever fresh fruits are sold.
I am starting a fruits and shakes franchise myself from scratch and will be open to advises from forumites. I intend to tart with 2/3 outlets myself, run it for couple of months and them throw the business open to franchise,then i can just manage the parent company
