Our success is largely the result of the overwhelming response to our delicious mouth-watering Fruit Smoothies, Fresh Squeezed Juices, Premium Nutritional Boosts and our Healthy Meals served in a fun, high energy and uplifting store environment.
We have created one of the best Smoothie / Juice Bar concepts in the industry. Blending our incredible tasting Fruit Smoothies, Fresh Squeezed Juices, Salads, Pitas, Soups and Much More into one outstanding location, has positioned us in a unique place between a Smoothie / Juice Bar and a healthy eating restaurant. Our delicious product mix attracts customers to come in for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack times.
One of the greatest niches of the Indigos concept is our "Create Your Own" Entertaining Experience. This gives our Indigos Team Members the ability to customize every Fruit Smoothie, Fresh Squeezed Juice, Salad and Pita to suit the customers individual tastes and/or diet. This allows each customer to get exactly what they want while it is being prepared fresh, right in front of their eyes.
Our focus on superior fresh fruit and vegetables, outstanding customer service and upscale vibrant store environments has positioned Indigos as a leading innovator in the Smoothie / Juice Bar industry creating a fantastic opportunity for entrepreneurs that share our commitment to excellence.
The Smoothie explosion is fueled by a new generation of health-conscious consumers who are seeking FAST, FRESH & HEALTHY nutritional meals as an alternative to high fat, empty calorie fast foods.
As you can see, the smoothie industry has experienced exciting growth in the last few years with no signs of slowing down. The awesome taste, nutrition, value and convenient portability of smoothies have made them an ideal meal replacement and/or a Grab-N-Go healthy snack for busy people on the GO!

The information presented may have changed since first published. We recommend that you always verify fees, investment amounts and offers with the business opportunity directly prior to making a decision to invest.
1. What training and ongoing support do you provide?
You want to know what happens after you pay the initial fee. A strong franchisor provides comprehensive pre-opening training, site-selection help, operational playbooks, and continuous assistance with marketing, technology, and supply chains.
2. What is the total initial investment, and did actual startup costs match the estimates in Item 7 of the FDD?
The Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) lists estimated startup costs in Item 7, but real-world expenses can run higher. Asking how closely current owners tracked to these estimates reveals if you need extra working capital or if hidden fees exist.
3. How do royalties and local/national marketing fees impact profitability?
You need to understand ongoing financial obligations-such as monthly royalty percentages and ad fund contributions-and evaluate whether the brand value and support justify cutting into your profit margins.
4. What are the common challenges new franchisees face, and how do you help them overcome them?
Transparent franchisors will openly discuss real hurdles like local competition, tight labor markets, or supply chain bottlenecks, and show you the exact playbook or field support they offer to solve them as well as allowing you to speak with other franchisees.
5. How many franchise locations have closed or left the system in the past few years, and why?
High turnover, store closures, or quiet franchise exits are major red flags. This question measures system stability, territory health, and whether the corporate team addresses struggling owners or lets them fail.
