Robeks is a smoothie franchise chain headquartered in Los Angeles, California. The company was founded in 1996 by David Robertson, a former investment banker.[1][2] As of July 2024, the company has over 100 franchise locations.[3]

Background

[edit]

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 Bickfords "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.

In 2017, Robeks introduced a new menu. 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.
