Buy a Booster Juice Franchise

Booster Juice is Canada’s original juice and smoothie bar, founded in 1999 when its first location opened in Sherwood Park, Alberta. The brand built the smoothie-bar category in Canada and has grown into one of the country’s best-known quick-service health beverage concepts, with more than 470 locations across every province and territory and a growing international presence.

The menu is built around fresh-made smoothies, with more than 30 recipes using fruits, vegetables, superfoods such as matcha, açaí and wheatgrass, and add-ins like protein and almond milk. It extends into fresh-squeezed juices, smoothie bowls, wraps, snacks and grab-and-go items aimed at active, health-conscious customers. Stores are compact and designed for high-traffic settings such as malls, fitness hubs, airports and busy urban corridors, running on a small footprint with relatively low labour.

Booster Juice remains founder-led and privately owned, with founder Dale Wishewan still serving as president and CEO, and franchises across Canada, the United States and internationally.

Why buy a Booster Juice Franchise?

Buying a Booster Juice franchise offers entry to an established, widely recognised brand in the better-for-you beverage category, backed by 25 years of franchising experience and a loyal customer base. As Canada’s original smoothie bar, it carries strong name recognition and a menu that is regularly refreshed to track current health and taste trends, helping units stay competitive in a growing and resilient quick-service segment.

The model is designed around compact, lower-labour stores that fit high-footfall locations, supported by national marketing campaigns, an established supply and distribution system, and a consumer loyalty app that encourages repeat custom. Franchisees draw on menu innovation and head-office systems built over more than two decades rather than launching an unproven concept from scratch.

Booster Juice – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    Incoming owners complete hands-on and classroom training at the Booster Juice head office in Edmonton, Alberta, an estimated 80-100 hours delivered over a two-week program covering operations, sales and management. Ongoing support includes store design, supply and distribution, IT and operating systems, national and local marketing, a branded consumer loyalty app, and in-market guidance from a Franchise Business Consultant. Resale buyers should confirm with Booster Juice what transfer training and head-office system access are provided to incoming owners and existing staff.

  2. Ideal Owner

    Booster Juice suits hands-on, customer-focused operators who enjoy a fast-paced retail and food-service environment and are comfortable managing staff and daily store operations. Business or management experience and proven leadership help, particularly as US expansion currently centres on multi-unit ownership, though the structured systems and training also support motivated newcomers. A genuine interest in health, wellness and active lifestyles fits the brand, along with the organisation to run a high-throughput, small-footprint location and build local community ties.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    Booster Juice is a long-recognised name in Canadian franchising, inducted into the Canadian Franchise Association Hall of Fame in 2014 and a repeat Technomic Canadian Chain Restaurants Consumers' Choice winner (2013 and 2014). It has also earned the FAB "Best Airport Smoothie and Juice Chain" honour and an ICSC store-design award (2016, Toronto Pearson), while founder Dale Wishewan was named EY Prairies Entrepreneur of the Year in 2013. For resale buyers, brand-level recognition should be weighed alongside the specific territory's local reviews, referral sources and community visibility.

  4. Industry / Market

    The US juice and smoothie bar market is worth roughly $4.5 billion in 2025 (IBISWorld), supported by sustained demand for convenient, better-for-you food and drink, functional ingredients and grab-and-go formats. Health-and-fitness trends, interest in clean ingredients and strong loyalty in quick-service beverage keep the category growing across North America. For resale buyers, local demand is shaped by foot traffic, nearby fitness and lifestyle anchors and competition, so a specific unit's strength depends heavily on its location and catchment.
