FRANCHISE RESALES

Buy a Planet Nutrition Franchise

Planet Nutrition is a health and nutrition retail franchise founded in 2000 in Lafayette, Louisiana, and franchising since 2005. The brand runs a chain of neighborhood nutrition stores built around three connected revenue lines: private-label dietary supplements, made-to-order specialty smoothies and protein shakes, and energy teas. Many locations add drive-through smoothie service plus an online store that ships products beyond the immediate trade area.

Because Planet Nutrition formulates and sells its own private-label supplements, including protein powders, multivitamins, fat burners and nootropics, franchisees retail a product line the brand controls rather than reselling third-party labels. The company emphasizes truth in labeling and ingredient quality, and several smoothies carry Ochsner Health System’s Eat Fit nutritional certification.

The franchise has grown from a single Lafayette store into an established regional network of more than 20 stores across the Gulf South, spanning Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi and Texas. It remains founder-led from its Louisiana corporate base, positioned as a community-focused retailer in the growing health-and-wellness category.

Why buy a Planet Nutrition Franchise?

Planet Nutrition gives a buyer a retail business with several ways to earn from one storefront: shelf sales of private-label supplements, a fresh smoothie and protein-shake bar, energy teas, and online orders. The private-label model is the core advantage; because the brand develops its own products, franchisees work with margins and formulations an independent supplement shop or third-party reseller cannot easily match.

The brand is well established in its home region, with a recognizable name across the Gulf South, a loyal smoothie following reflected in strong local reviews, and SBA-approved financing options for qualified buyers. It sits in a health-and-wellness category that has proved resilient and continues to grow.

Planet Nutrition – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    Planet Nutrition trains incoming franchisees at its Lafayette, Louisiana headquarters, covering product knowledge across its private-label supplement line, smoothie and energy-tea preparation, and day-to-day retail operations. Ongoing support includes marketing assistance, operational guidance and access to a network of experienced franchise operators, and the franchisor points buyers toward SBA-approved financing. Resale buyers should confirm with Planet Nutrition what onboarding and product training the franchisor provides to a new owner and inherited staff, and how supply of the private-label range transfers with the store.

  2. Ideal Owner

    Planet Nutrition suits a hands-on, community-minded retail operator who is comfortable working the floor, managing and training a small team, and building repeat custom through friendly, knowledgeable service. A genuine interest in fitness, supplements and nutrition helps owners advise customers and sell the private-label range with credibility, though formal industry experience is not required. A retail, sales or store-management background is useful, and owners should be ready to drive local marketing and keep both the supplement shelves and the smoothie bar running smoothly.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    Planet Nutrition has built its reputation regionally, earning local recognition such as Best Tasting Smoothie and Best Supplement Store honors and a strong base of positive customer reviews praising its products and knowledgeable staff. Several of its smoothies carry the Ochsner Health System Eat Fit (Eat Fit Acadiana) nutritional certification, an independent endorsement of their nutritional profile. For resale buyers, brand-level recognition should be weighed alongside the specific territory's reputation, including local reviews, repeat customers and community visibility.

  4. Industry / Market

    Planet Nutrition sits in the US dietary supplements market, valued at roughly $69 billion in 2024 and growing about 5% a year on rising spending on fitness, protein and preventive health (Nutrition Business Journal). Demand is supported by sustained interest in active lifestyles, functional beverages and self-directed wellness, and the category has stayed resilient across economic cycles. For resale buyers, local factors matter most: nearby gyms and demographics, foot traffic, smoothie demand and competition from other supplement retailers all shape a single store's performance.
