About Tropical Smoothie Cafe® Born on a beach in 1997, Tropical Smoothie Cafe® is a national fast-casual restaurant brand built on a simple promise: better-for-you food and smoothies that taste as good as they make you feel. We believe eating well should be easy, enjoyable and brightening, which is why we make it simple to Eat Some Good™ with made-to-order smoothies, bowls and food. Since opening our first cafe, we've grown into a brand fueled by craveable menu offerings, feel-good vibes and genuine connections with the communities we serve. Whether you're grabbing a smoothie on the go, enjoying lunch with friends or fueling your next adventure, we're here to bring a little sunshine to your day. Giving back has been part of who we are from the beginning. In 2007, we celebrated our 10-year anniversary by creating National Flip Flop Day®, a one-of-a-kind holiday that turns sunshine into support for kids facing hunger. Each year, we partner with Share Our Strength's No Kid Hungry® campaign to help raise funds, and guests who visit participating cafes wearing flip flops can enjoy a free smoothie during the event. It's one of the many ways we strive to make a positive impact in the communities we serve. Today, Tropical Smoothie Cafe has grown to nearly 1,800 locations across 44 states. Headquartered in Atlanta, the brand continues to earn recognition for its performance and guest experience, including ranking No. 1 in Entrepreneur's Franchise 500 Smoothie/Juice Category for six consecutive years, being named one of USA TODAY's 10 Best Restaurants for Quick, Healthy Food and earning a place on Technomic's Top 500 list of leading restaurant chains. As we continue to grow, we're committed to delivering great experiences for guests, meaningful opportunities for franchisees and team members, and a positive impact in the neighborhoods we call home.

In 1959, armed with savings of only $1,800, William R. Larson opened his first restaurant in Menlo Park, California. He wanted to create a place where families could go to relax, to experience a real sense of community, and to share a superb pizza. Bill called his little restaurant Round Table Pizza Parlor. By 1962, demand was extraordinary. With three locations already thriving, employees and customers saw an opportunity to expand Round Table through franchising. The hard work and dedication of these founding franchisees has driven our tremendous growth. After more than 50 years, we have expanded the Round Table family to more than 150 franchise groups operating some 500 restaurants. Today, Round Table continues to serve up great tasting pizzas that customers crave. We roll our dough from scratch, add our fresh blend of three cheeses, and lavishly top our pizzas with only premium meats and garden fresh vegetables. We are also known for our unique specialty pizzas. Over the last 15 years, Round Table has introduced more than 30 successful new products, and we are considered a pioneer in pizza innovation. The world has changed over the last 50 years since Bill Larson opened his first pizza parlor. The fast pace often leaves no time for a relaxing family meal. But like Bill, we still believe that serving families is Round Table’s most important role. Parents are looking for the chance to sit down as a family in a place that welcomes, respects and celebrates family meal time. By serving a superb pizza and nurturing family connections in a comfortable place to gather, we can all be a part of bringing families closer together at Round Table for years to come.
