Franchise History
Planet Smoothie History Starting in 1995, Planet Smoothie grew from a single store in Atlanta, Georgia to quickly expand throughout the Southeast and into nearly 100 locations across the country. With smoothie names like “Big Bang” and “Chocolate Elvis” combined with a colorful, lively d?cor, the offbeat personality of the store earned rave reviews and a dedicated fan base right from the start. Tasti D-Lite History The first Tasti D-Lite store opened its doors in September, 1987, and grew from its roots in New York City mostly by word of mouth. As it became the favorite guilt-free indulgence of celebrities and supermodels, brand awareness grew through exposure on highly-rated TV shows like Sex and the City, The Apprentice, 30 Rock and appearances on other programs including The Tyra Banks Show and The Today Show. Tasti now has fans across the country and stores around the world. In 2015, Planet Smoothie was acquired by Scottsdale, Arizona-based Kahala Brands, one of the fastest growing franchising companies in the world.
