This past summer we let you know that Smoothie King signed on to open a new location at 20630 Seneca Meadows Parkway at the Shops at Seneca Meadows development (where Wegmans is located) in Germantown. A permit valued at $200,000 has been now issued for construction to begin on the interior.
Smoothie King will be taking over part of the space that was previously home to DaMarco The Italian Place with F45 Training occupying the other portion of the space. Permanent signage has been up since the summer, and we expect a late 2024 or early 2025 opening. Smoothie King has locations in Bethesda, two in Rockville, and one in Olney that opened just last summer.
Since taking the helm, owner/CEO Wan Kim has led efforts to transform the brand’s menu from being packed with sugar and artificial flavors and colors to being health-conscious and packed with whole fruits and organic, non-GMO ingredients. The main focus is not only giving Smoothie King guests the ability to customize smoothies according to their preferences, Kim says, but pushing their product to more closely align with a healthier, active lifestyle.
