How one small Experiment Became legend
We first introduced the fresh-blended smoothie in 1973 when founder Steve Kuhnau began experimenting with mixing real fruit, nutrients, and proteins in a blender at home. His blends began to have a positive impact on his health, which spurred the creation of Smoothie King—the original smoothie bar.
1989 – Launching Smoothie King Franchising
In 1989, Smoothie King became the first smoothie franchise in the United States. Since then, our brand has expanded its reign, with each location offering healthier product offerings in sports beverages, energy bars, snacks, vitamin supplements, and other nutritious products.
2012 – Wan Kim Purchases Smoothie King
In July 2012, Smoothie King co-founders Steve and Cindy Kuhnau sold the brand to SK USA, Inc., headed by CEO Wan Kim, a successful franchisee with more than 100 Smoothie King stores throughout South Korea.

Kaye Asa $6.50
Injera is made from a grain known as teff, which is ground into flour, made into a batter, slightly fermented, and then fried on a heavy skillet into a giant circular pancake. The texture is soft and spongy and the flavor is lightly sour.
The majority of Ethiopian food is served with injera, the biggest staple food of the country.
Berbere is a mixture of different spices that forms the backbone of flavor for many dishes. Chili powder, fenugreek, ginger, garlic, cardamom, cinnamon, and whole bunch of other spices are combined to make berbere. It’s essential in cooking Ethiopian food.
Awaze is the paste version of berbere. You actually get some berbere dry seasoning and mix it with oil (often olive oil), and a bit of Ethiopian wine or whiskey. It goes very well with meat dishes.
