“Tropical Smoothie Café is not your traditional smoothie concept but rather an attractive quick casual restaurant brand that continues to derive greater than 50% of their revenues from a creative assortment of gourmet wraps, signature sandwiches, flatbreads and salads,” said Scott Pressly, a managing partner at BIP. “Consumers love the mix of freshly made sandwiches and real fruit smoothies. Now we can build the infrastructure required to significantly accelerate the franchise growth of the business and bring Tropical Smoothie Café to new cities across the country.”
“BIP brings so much to the table – experience, contacts and capital in one shop,” said Eric Jenrich, CEO and co-founder of TSC. “With their counsel and resources, we’ve clearly defined our growth strategy and are putting into place the right people and infrastructure to substantially expand the Tropical Smoothie Café brand.”
