Tropical Smoothie Cafe

Tropical Smoothie Cafe is a fast-casual restaurant chain specializing in smoothies, wraps, sandwiches, salads, and bowls. Founded in 1993 in Destin, Florida, the company has grown to over 1,400 locations across 44 states. Its headquarters are located in Atlanta, Georgia.

The menu features a variety of smoothies, including fruit blends, tropical treats, balanced fusion, and super veggie options. Signature items like the Bahama Mama™ and Peanut Butter Cup™ smoothies are popular choices.

Besides beverages, the cafe offers wraps, sandwiches, flatbreads, salads, and bowls, catering to diverse dietary preferences. This broad selection appeals to many customers who seek tropical flavor and healthy options.

In April 2024, Blackstone, a private equity firm, acquired Tropical Smoothie Cafe in a deal valued at $2 billion. This acquisition followed a period of positive growth, including the introduction of new menu items like tropic bowls.
