Smoothies Korea, the Korean branch of U.S.-based beverage firm Smoothie King, purchased its parent firm in 2012. Since then, it has evolved into a global business by beefing up its original smoothie image as well as adding its business know-how built on the Korean market over the 10 years.
The firm is expanding its global presence aggressively. It entered the Singaporean market in just five months of its acquisition and opened its second franchise in April.
