Robeks, the destination for creatively crafted fresh smoothies, juices, açai bowls and premium toasts, announced its opening in Orland Park (9400 W. 159th St.) marking the brand’s third location in Illinois.
The store is owned and operated by husband-and-wife business owners Ken and Angela Townsend who bring their diverse professional background and passion for the smoothie industry to this exciting venture. On Thursday, July 27 at 5 p.m., the Townsends will be hosting a ribbon-cutting event to mark the official launch of this highly anticipated establishment. Then, starting on Saturday, July 29 at 10 a.m. and extending through Sunday, July 30, a Grand Opening event will take place to feature two days of complimentary smoothies and exclusive giveaways.
"We’ve always had a passion for entrepreneurship,” said Angela, who also alongside Ken owns an existing Robeks in Plainfield. “The idea of opening a smoothie concept intrigued us, but pursuing business ownership was complex. That's when we discovered the world of franchising, and Robeks has been the absolute best decision for us. We’re in business for ourselves, but not by ourselves. Since opening our first location in Plainfield, we’ve received unwavering support from the Robeks team and lots of love from our fans. We can’t wait to feel the same excitement in Orland Park."
Robeks is the ultimate destination for refreshing and delicious beverages, quick snacks, and wholesome meal replacements.

"Their passion for promoting health and wellness, coupled with their unwavering commitment to exceptional guest service, makes them the ideal owners. We’re proud of their success in Plainfield and look forward to supporting their business development for years to come."
