Obesity and overweight pose a major risk for chronic diseases, including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension and stroke, and certain forms of cancer. The key causes are increased consumption of energy-dense foods high in saturated fats and sugars, and reduced physical activity. -World Health Organization 2009 Health and nutrition is quality of life vs. disease and death.

The International Programs: The Master Franchise Program is for a local entrepreneur or group that chooses to open a determined amount of corporate stores and then builds an infrastructure to support its growth through sub franchising. Smoothie King provides comprehensive training and on-going support to Master Franchisees. Franchisor experience is strongly recommended. Typical investment costs for a country-level Master Franchise range from $ 600,000USD to over $ 5,000,000USD depending on market size. The Development Agreement is similar to the Master Franchise Agreement but on a smaller scale in terms of both start-up capital and development area. The Development Agreement does not grant the rights to sub franchise and is defined by a number of stores to be developed within a certain geographical area. In order to have economies of scale you would have to develop a minimum number of stores which will be determined on a per market area.
