A smoothie and juice franchise runs from one retail store. Protein and meal replacement smoothies bring in more than half of sales. Bowls sell well too. Fresh juices, toasts, and a newer food line fill out the menu.

Money comes in one ticket at a time, all day long. Daily tickets average in the mid to high fifties right now. E50-60arly summers ran past 100. The store has been open just over three years and is still nearly new inside.

Seven to eight employees keep it running, most of them part time. Everyone is cross trained on every station. The owner works about 50 to 60 hours a week on operations, staff, and customers. She handles operations and customer relationships, not just labor.

Hours are the clearest gap. The store opens at 7 and closes at 7 on weekdays, earlier on weekends. Competition a few miles out stays open until 9 or 10. Customers keep asking for a longer day, and the current owners cannot give it.

No food background is needed, since franchise training covers the work. Support from the franchise is steady, with a regional visit each quarter. Selling comes down to time. One owner carries a full time career, and the family is deep in kids' sports and school activities.

The seller will train the new owner, and the staff is willing to stay.
