HB Protein Smoothies Franchising
Why Franchisees Love HB Protein Smoothies
High-Protein, High-Growth
This Movement is a Rocket Ship
The US protein market is a $114.4 billion juggernaut that’s continuing to grow. Expected to grow at 1.9% annually through 2028, health-conscious consumers want convenience without sacrificing taste. Smart money follows smart consumers, and right now they’re voting with their wallets for high-protein food that’s easy to access and tastes great. That’s where HB Protein Smoothies fits.
HB Protein Smoothies offers high-protein smoothies (35-50 grams) that taste like dessert and are around 250-300 calories. Their simple, low-labor business model is looking to partner with multi-unit franchisees looking to move into a new, rapidly expanding category. HB Protein Smoothies has incredible numbers in a small floor plan, making it a great fit in any market.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this franchise the right fit for me?
The next HB Protein Smoothies franchisee is passionate about wellness, leads with kindness, and is ready to move into development within the next 3–6 months. This is an opportunity for a coachable, hands-on operator who believes in following systems and building a scalable, multi-unit business.
How many employees do I need?
On your busiest days you’ll need 1-3 employees. We have national partners to help recruit the right employees for your location.
Do I need a general manager for each location?
No. A general manager is not required for each location. Thanks to our intentionally lean operating model, simple proprietary protein smoothie formulas, and minimal staffing requirements, the business is designed to scale efficiently.
One district manager can oversee 3–5 locations, supported by one shift leader per store and hourly team members.
Do you help me find a location?
Yes. We use AI-driven trade-area analysis, combined with experienced real estate professionals, to identify high-volume, health-minded markets. Our team prioritizes prime “main-and-main” locations near complementary fitness and wellness businesses—such as gyms, yoga studios, and other health-focused concepts—where visibility and daily traffic are already strong.
What are the general operation hours of a location?
HB Protein Smoothie locations are open 7 days a week. Monday – Friday 7:00am – 6:00pm. Saturday 8:00am – 4:00pm. Sunday 9:00am – 3:00pm.
Are the build-out options flexible? What’s required for franchise build-out?
Yes. HB Protein Smoothies has a simple buildout enabling franchisees the opportunity to convert a current location, both in-line or on end caps. Franchisees can also choose to offer drive-thru if they prefer.
The streamlined build-out requires only freezers, an ice machine, a refrigerator, and commercial blenders—eliminating the need for hoods, vents, ovens, or expensive kitchen infrastructure. Equipment is sourced through vetted national suppliers.
How does HB Protein Smoothies manage its supply line for consistent inventory?
We use proprietary smoothie formulas that are packaged by vetted national suppliers, ensuring consistent quality and reliable inventory across all locations.
What kind of POS system does HB Protein Smoothies use?
To simplify operations, HB Protein Smoothies operates on Clover POS, a proven cloud-based platform that is intuitive, fast to implement, and built to scale. The system also powers our integrated loyalty program, helping drive repeat business.
What franchisor support and infrastructure is offered?
HB Protein Smoothies provides hands-on support from day one, including real estate guidance, operational training, marketing support, and ongoing coaching.
We also provide a pre-opening program that includes local marketing rollout, signage, community event guidance, advertising, and full grand opening support. Our team is there to guide you through your grand opening to ensure a smooth launch and will continue to support you as you ramp up.
Where is HB Protein Smoothies headed in the next 5-10 years?
Within five years, we expect to reach 500 open locations and 1,000 in development across the top 150 U.S. MSAs through disciplined, franchisee-focused growth.
By year ten, we aim to be a category-defining wellness platform with 1,000 locations open and 2,000 in development.
