Buy a BARE Blends Franchise

BARE Blends is a fast-casual franchise built around an entirely plant-based, gluten-free menu. Founded in 2018, the brand serves smoothies, smoothie bowls, fresh-pressed juices, salads, grain bowls, and a signature waffle toast, with every item prepared without added sugars, artificial additives, or animal products. The menu was developed with a nutrition science background, and the brand’s proprietary granola flavors are exclusive to BARE Blends locations.

The business operates from a small footprint of 1,000 to 1,300 square feet; co-located units inside fitness centers and health clubs can operate in even less space. Equipment requirements are limited and staffing is lean, with three to five team members on shift at any given time. The model accommodates both owner-operators and semi-absentee investors.

BARE Blends targets health-conscious consumers, including those managing dietary restrictions such as gluten intolerance, dairy intolerance, and veganism who actively seek specialist options. The brand builds repeat traffic through weekly rotating flavors, seasonal specials, and holiday menu items, and supports both in-house and third-party delivery.

Why buy a BARE Blends Franchise?

Buying a BARE Blends franchise offers entry into a fast-casual segment with a distinct product offer: the menu is entirely plant-based and gluten-free, developed with a nutrition science background. The brand’s proprietary granola flavors are exclusive to BARE Blends, and weekly rotating flavors, seasonal specials, and holiday items create repeat traffic patterns that a resale buyer should assess when reviewing unit performance.

The compact store format limits rent exposure, and lean equipment requirements and light staffing keep ongoing overhead manageable. Vendors are pre-vetted and items are ordered in bulk, giving franchisees purchasing leverage they would not have independently. Each location receives its own website for local search, and ongoing marketing support covers social media, SEO, and email campaigns. The model accommodates both owner-operators and semi-absentee investors.

BARE Blends – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    BARE Blends provides operational training covering store management, menu execution, and brand standards. Ongoing support is delivered through a proprietary software platform and franchisee intranet, giving owners access to operating systems and brand resources. Marketing support includes social media, SEO, and email campaigns run for individual locations. The franchisor accommodates both owner-operator and semi-absentee models, with guidance on delegating day-to-day management. Resale buyers should confirm with BARE Blends what transfer training, intranet access, and platform onboarding are provided to incoming owners.

  2. Ideal Owner

    BARE Blends suits operators comfortable managing a small customer-facing team in a health and wellness setting. Prior foodservice experience is not required, though comfort with daily operations and community engagement helps build local traffic. The model also supports semi-absentee investors who delegate to a hired manager. A connection to fitness communities, local wellness businesses, and health-conscious repeat customers is a meaningful advantage for growing the location. For resale buyers, assessing how much existing traffic and customer loyalty depends on the current owner's personal relationships is important due diligence.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    BARE Blends has been recognized by Entrepreneur Magazine as a Top Emerging Franchise Brand and has appeared on the Entrepreneur Franchise 500. The brand has earned Franchise Business Review Franchise Satisfaction Awards in 2025 and 2026, based on direct franchisee feedback. For a newer franchise system, franchisee satisfaction recognition is a meaningful signal of operational support quality. For resale buyers, brand-level recognition should be considered alongside the specific unit's local reputation, customer reviews, and community presence.

  4. Industry / Market

    The US juice and smoothie bar industry was valued at approximately $4.4 billion in 2024 (IBISWorld), with growth driven by consumer demand for convenient, nutrient-dense food and clean-label products. Consumers managing dietary restrictions such as veganism, gluten intolerance, or dairy intolerance actively seek specialist operators, providing a built-in customer segment. Delivery and grab-and-go formats continue to extend reach beyond in-store visits. For resale buyers, proximity to fitness facilities, local health-conscious demographics, and the strength of the existing order base are practical demand indicators at the unit level.
