Smoothie King

I vacillate on ¾ stars. I guess it’s a chain. Nothing sleek and sophisticated like I’m used to in NY or LA but gets the job done.
Menu is über large — messily displayed — but you’ll definitely find something to drink or you can create your own. I enjoyed a vanilla protein powder almond milk shake with bananas and peanut butter.
They offer Super Sized options too so be careful as those can be easily over the 1,000 calorie mark.
Store is a jumbled mess but you can pick up various protein products and I was delighted to see the vegan lemon poppyseed cookie line I used to eat in California.
Overall, totally fine and I’d return if looking for a smoothie or products, if it were on my way that day. Not a destination place though.
Good business model for them. I walked in for a drink and walked out with $ 15 in other items.

Arrived one minute after stated closing time. Hold on the doors, they were locked employees were all the way in the back and then already wiped out most of the counters. Another girl pulled up right after me rattled the doors again and never turned around and looked I just want to get out of there I guess

Yesterday I stopped there on the way from Fleming Island to Punta Gorda. I was traveling with my daughter, and we were excited about the stop as every Smoothie King near us, both at our home in Fleming Island and our vacation home in Punta Gorda, has closed and we had six or seven partially filled punch cards we had collected over the years that we wanted to finally redeem. All together, there were 26 punches, so we planned to get two small smoothies.
Instead, as we were ordering, the owner/​manager came over and abruptly cancelled our order, saying he wouldn’t honor my cards even though he still participated in the loyalty program. When I asked why, he said that many of the punches were made simultaneously, such as all the punches on a partially filled card. When I explained that I was the father of three children and we often stopped for Smoothie Kings together or with friends and would get several at once, he accused me to my face, in front of my daughter, of using forged or somehow unethically obtained punch cards. What an outrage! I’m a physician and senior Naval officer. I don’t need to use bogus rewards cards to get a smoothie! I left there livid and will never set foot in that location again.
