Fresh Monkee - Protein Shakes & Smoothies
Business Description
Established health-focused smoothie and protein shake franchise serving the growing Ballantyne market in South Charlotte. This turnkey operation represents an exceptional opportunity in the thriving health and wellness sector.
Fresh Monkee addresses the increasing consumer demand for clean, healthy eating options by offering transparent, made-to-order protein shakes and smoothies using real, all-natural ingredients. This concept focuses on whole foods and clean protein, positioning it as the premium choice for health-conscious consumers seeking post-workout recovery, meal replacement, or healthy lifestyle maintenance options.
The store is open and operating with a full buildout completed in 2025: commercial freezers, production and service equipment, furnishings, POS systems, inventory at normal operating levels, and 8 part-time employees. Day-to-day operations are supported by the trained team with limited owner presence. This gives a buyer an operating platform from day one while leaving meaningful upside for an active local owner.
The primary opportunity is stronger local owner involvement as the current owner presence is limited. There is significant upside to sales growth and operating efficiency for an active owner who can drive more consistent local marketing. The franchise provides a best in class marketing playbook that has not been fully leveraged to date.
