Robeks is a smoothie franchise chain headquartered in Los Angeles, California, USA. Founded in 1996 by David Robertson, a former investment banker,[1][2] as of February 2016 the company has 91 franchise locations.[3]
Peter Bickford was a Wall Street banker and his wife Katrina ran a landscape design business. They were introduced to Robeks by Kela Alstrup, a franchise broker. The Bickford "were hooked by the idea of providing healthy food in a colorful, high energy setting."[4] The Bickfords opened the first Robeks franchise in New England. For over 20 years, Robeks Fresh Juices & Smoothies has been serving delicious, good-for-you smoothies and juices using truly unique recipes that combine fruits, vegetables, and other natural ingredients. Using only the best fruits, freshest vegetables, and natural ingredients, each smoothie, juice or bowl is always made to order.
In 2017, Robeks introduced a new menu with customer favorites and new items that were instantly well received. In February 2018, Robeks launched their new Online Ordering program allowing customers to place orders from their desktop or mobile devices. The cornerstone of the program is a new mobile app that is now available to the public. In the summer of 2018, Robeks introduced three floral infused lemonades in anticipation of the summer heat: Rose, Hibiscus, and Lavender. The company is projected to have over 100 locations by 2019.
