Frequently Asked Questions
Is Planet Smoothie growing or shrinking?
Planet Smoothie doesn't have enough SBA loan activity in both FY2025 and FY2026 to calculate a reliable year-over-year trend. For context, it ranks #91 of 1,075 Restaurants & Food brands by total SBA loan count since FY2020 -- a snapshot of scale, if not of trend.
How much does it cost to open a Planet Smoothie franchise?
We don't have that figure -- investment ranges and fees come from a franchisor's Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), which this site doesn't parse (see methodology). The average SBA loan size of $319K (24% below the typical Restaurants & Food brand's $419K) is a rough proxy, but SBA loans often cover only part of total investment.
