MIDDLETOWN, Del. (May 9, 2019) – Planet Smoothie, a quick service smoothie franchise offering an abundance of colorful and delicious smoothie options, announced today it has signed a franchise agreement with current operators Leonard and Renee Resetar to open one location in Middletown, Del. The husband and wife duo already own one Planet Smoothie in Newark, Del. with one more in development in Rehoboth Beach, Del. The newest Planet Smoothie is expected to bring 12 new jobs to the Middletown area.
Founded in 1995 in Atlanta, Planet Smoothie has consistently proven that its menu delivers vibrant flavors and ingredients that never fail to put a smile on a customer’s face. Residents of Middletown will soon be able to experience fresh, out-of-this-world blends like the Lunar LemonadeTM and Chocolate ElvisTM with add-in boosts, such as Matcha Green Tea and Chia Seeds for an extra kick.
Prior to Planet Smoothie, both Leonard and Renee built impressive resumes with long careers in aviation, travel and finance. Both are also extremely engaged in their local community; Leonard coaches several local sports teams and Renee has served as PTA President and as a member of MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers). Their combined business backgrounds, community involvement, and devotion to satisfy Planet Smoothie guests set them up for success with their growing Planet Smoothie enterprise.
“Leonard and Renee have managed their current Planet Smoothie with the simple approach of putting a smile on every face and ensuring the entire experience, from walking through the door to the last sip of a guest’s smoothie, is excellent,” said John Wuycheck, Senior Vice President of Franchise Development. “We are happy to continue to collaborate with such passionate individuals like the Resetars, and feel confident they will represent the franchise brand to the fullest throughout Delaware.”
The Resetars and other franchisees of Planet Smoothie have the benefit of unrivaled franchisee support from Kahala BrandsTM. Every franchisee has full access to an R&D team with chefs dedicated to sweet and savory menu innovations, an in-house social media team, an in-house creative team to help with ads, promos and coupons, a full-service construction team, a hands-on week-long training program, continuing education and more.
