New Smoothie King Opens In Norcross
The franchise was opened by Sanden Andrews, who became a fan while training for the Olympics as a gymnast, and her husband.

NORCROSS, GA — While she was training for the 1992 Olympics as a gymnast, Sanden Andrews would sip on Smoothie King smoothies to fuel her along the way.
Now, she and her husband, Robert, are bringing those same smoothies to Norcross.
Last week, the couple opened their eighth Smoothie King location in Georgia at 1740 Indian Trail Road. They also run locations in Duluth, Johns Creek, Gainesville, Suwanee and Roswell.
