Question Anyone have a Smoothie Bar in their salon???

The suite next to the salon we are purchasing is vacant. We are trying to negotiate with the property manager to take over the space. The previous owner was thinking about putting in a smoothie bar in part of the space (roughly 500 sq ft). Does anyone have a smoothie bar in their salon and is it successful?

I want to add something that will draw in clients (current and new) during the off season. If we can get them in the door, they may just say "Well, while I'm here.....maybe a quick tan, any retail purchase, etc."

I have a local organinc coffee company that provides coffee to my salon for advertisement and its gone over huge, since they are also another small business. We would even love to combine businesses at some point!

Re: Anyone have a Smoothie Bar in their salon???

I think smoothie bars do pretty well in all year 'round warm weather states but in NJ ???....not sure. Maybe warmer beverages in the colder months? There's a place in Tampa "Tanning and Smoothies" that i understand does really well.

I think I would gain a lot of weight with a smoothie bar in my shop.

Re: Anyone have a Smoothie Bar in their salon???

We've been doing Island Oasis smoothies for over a year and have done well. Much more profit than soda or water. Year round sales but better in the warmer months. 12 and 20 ounce cups at $3 and $5 each.

You would have to be in a spot that has a lot of foot traffic though wouldn't you? to draw clients for just smoothies that is.
