Emerald City Smoothie - Healthy Fast Food Franchise Opportunity

Smooth Profits Selling Great Taste and Good Health

If you are looking for a significant franchise opportunity with a low cost of entry and high upside potential, you may be a great candidate to be an Emerald City Smoothie (ECS) franchise owner.

What sets ECS apart from the crowd is its unique brand promise. ECS delivers healthy smoothies with unbeatable taste. When you're getting started, this unique concept results in a shorter time to break even. Even better, over the long run, it means that you own a defensible brand that is very difficult to copy.

We've also built our uniqueness beyond the product. We build customer loyalty everyday through:

• Personal service philosophy that makes our employees part of a fitness-support team so customers keep coming back.
• The right supplements for any health goal from weight loss to bulking up.
• Recipes that won the "best of" smoothie category in a Seattle poll.
• Unique blending process that creates a smooth, refreshing, but never-watery, taste.
• World-class visual branding and store design that draws customers and makes selection of high-margin add-on products easy.
• Corporate marketing, training, site selection, and quality control services.

ECS also features all the benefits offered by franchises including a formula for operating a successful proven business that all but eliminates business mistakes commonly made by new business owners.

A Strong Brand That Stands Out in a Growing Trend

Today, one out of every three dollars spent by Americans for goods and services is spent in a franchised business, generating an estimated $1 trillion in the U.S. economy annually. The combination of our expertise and your hard work create the potential for a strong business.

Emerald City Smoothie is a retail concept that marries taste and good health. At the center of the ECS value proposition is an incredible tasting, 24-ounce smoothie. The best description of our smoothies is that they taste fresh, like just-picked fruit off the tree. Once you try one, it's almost impossible to not come back for more.

A recent study, the ECS Customer Study 2005, by integrated brand experts Parker LePla, supports our claims. Consider these facts:

• 100% of customers indicate that they will buy additional ECS smoothies again.
• A large majority of our customers visit our stores three or more times per week.
• 64% of our customers say being an ECS customer tells the world they are health conscious.
• 39% were referred to ECS by a friend.

ECS scored an average 4.29 on Parker LePla's brand strength on a scale ranging from -5 to +5. A 4.29 places these customers in the Committed level, which is characterized by extreme loyalty, a willingness to pay more than for a competitive product and a desire to tell others about the brand.

This customer behavior makes ECS a strong brand. In addition, the smoothie industry as a whole benefits from America's long-term need to embrace a healthier lifestyle and combat obesity.

Our customers appreciate taste and health!
