HB Protein Smoothies is launching its first international expansion with a multi-unit franchise agreement in British Columbia, signed by experienced franchise husband-and-wife team Jay and Carolina Orosa. The deal follows recent multi-unit commitments in Florida and California, marking the brand’s fourth such agreement in just two months. Based in Vancouver, the Orosas bring entrepreneurial experience from pharmaceutical sales, marketing, and previous franchise ownership, and chose HB for its strong health-focused mission, operational simplicity, and community-centered culture. Their plan is to make HB Protein Smoothies a household name across B.C. and establish it as a lasting part of consumers’ daily wellness routines. Established in Scottsdale in Arizona by Daniel Boone and son Ethan in 2013, HB Protein Smoothies features made to order high-protein, low-calorie meal-replacement smoothies along with grab & go snack items that appeal to a health-conscious clientele. Designed for scalability, HB Protein Smoothies offers a low-overhead, streamlined franchise model with minimal staffing requirements and strong unit economics. Each location, ideally in the 900 to 1200 square foot range, provides convenient, high-protein nutrition while supporting franchise partners with a system engineered for sustainable growth. Fransmart, a franchise development company specializing in assisting emerging restaurant and retail concepts expand through strategic franchising solutions, is handling franchising for the company. Earlier in the year, HB Protein Smoothies signed two multi-unit agreements in Florida and earlier this month, the company announced a multi-unit deal for California.
