Tropical Smoothie Cafe®, a leading national fast-casual concept known for its better-for-you smoothies and food with a tropical twist, announced today its goal to donate 100,000 smoothies nationwide to local healthcare workers and first responders as part of its #InItTogeth­er campaign to help support those on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“In cafes across the country, the Tropical Smoothie Cafe family is working tirelessly to support our local communitie­s, which are currently facing unpreceden­ted hardship,” said Charles Watson, CEO of Tropical Smoothie Cafe, LLC. “Our safety is dependent upon the selfless, hard work of our local healthcare workers and first responders and we want to help them in any way we can. The 100K smoothie giveaway is a simple, but impactful example of one way we can show our gratitude and bring a smile to their face – one sip at a time.”

“As a small business owner, I was grateful for the opportunit­y to show our local first responders and healthcare workers who go above and beyond for us every day,” said Nick Crouch, a multi-unit franchisee with Tropical Smoothie Cafe and the CEO of DYNE Hospitalit­y Group. “Even if it is just in a small way, we want them to know we appreciate their hard work that we’re all in this together!”
