Posted on September 24, 2008 by Pete Kosowski

Atlanta, GA – Franchise Gator, an internet-based pay-for-performance franchise marketing service, announced that Smoothie Factory made a recent franchise sale as a direct result of its marketing campaign on www.franchisegator.com.

Lisa Whitsey of Pooler, Georgia found Smoothie Factory franchise information on Franchise Gator in April using the Franchise Selector, which allows users to easily search opportunities based on their personal interests as well as financial and geographical preferences.

Lisa and her partner, Wayne MacCallister, executed a franchise contract with Smoothie Factory in September and the pair is expected to have their business open in Georgia by the end of 2008. Smoothie Factory has recently added all natural yogurt, freshly-squeezed fruit juices and meals-to-go to its menu in an effort to transition from a smoothie bar into an all around wellness café.
