Robeks, a destination for fresh and innovative smoothies, juices, acai bowls, and toasts, is set for a significant expansion in Arizona, according to a press released shared with What Now Phoenix.
By the close of 2023, the chain aims to establish 10 operating locations in the state, including three scheduled openings in 2023.
Beyond these 10 locations, both new and existing Robeks’ franchisees are committed to opening an additional 11 locations within the next 24 months. That includes plans to open six more locations in 2024, and actively exploring opportunities for additional growth in the Phoenix area.
The press release also shared the following: “The recent signing of a three-unit area development agreement with Fred, Anita and Aziuana Edwards reflects the brand’s attractiveness to franchisees and is a testament to Robeks’ appeal to families looking for a lucrative opportunity in the food and beverage space. The Edward’s territory will encompass parts of North Scottsdale, with the intent of growing even further and adding more locations in the years to come. Adding to the Edwards’ multi-unit commitment, earlier this year, Robeks also welcomed Mandy and Andrew Crandell to the brand. The Crandells are planning to open three locations throughout the Mesa and Gilbert area. The first Robeks is already in development at the Mesa Grand Shopping Center. In addition to the Edwards and Crandells, in late 2022 Robeks’ inked a multi-unit development agreement for locations in Glendale, Tempe and Avondale, and the Tempe location just celebrated its opening. Currently, Robeks has eight operating locations in Arizona, spanning the communities of Buckeye, Goodyear, Phoenix (Laveen), Phoenix (South Mountain), Tempe and in both Tucson and Prescott. The Avondale and Litchfield locations are next in line to open their doors.”
Exact addresses have not been disclosed yet, and What Now Phoenix did not immediately hear back for comment.
