New Smoothie King Opens in La Porte

Smoothie King, the world’s leading smoothie brand committed to inspiring guests to live healthy, active lifestyles, opened its new La Porte location. The new store, located at 1309 W. Fairmont Pkwy., Ste. O, is owned and operated by Drew Coxie.

Coxie, who grew up in the Houston area, has always valued fitness and a healthy lifestyle, and understands the importance of maintaining a full schedule. Being a young entrepreneur, Coxie, 24, wanted to provide the community with a quick, healthy meal option in La Porte and decided to open a Smoothie King location.

As part of its vision to be an integral part of every health and fitness journey, Smoothie King’s diverse menu features 70 purposefully-blended smoothies tailored to each guest’s needs – all of which fit into one of four purpose categories: Fitness, Slim, Wellness and Break Time.

Smoothie King implemented its Clean Blends™ promise last year as part of its mission to be more transparent about what ingredients go and don’t go into each smoothie. Through this promise, Smoothie King is committed to using more whole fruits and organic vegetables – like mangoes, blueberries, kale and spinach – to blend more nutritious, great-tasting smoothies. The Clean Blends™ promise also means zero added sugar in many purpose blends and a menu with absolutely no artificial preservatives, flavors, colors and other ingredients on the brand’s “No No List.”

“Smoothie King can provide the community with quick options that will still get them where they need to be on time while contributing to a healthy lifestyle,” said Coxie. “I was drawn to Smoothie King because of their dedication to improving overall wellness, every smoothie is made with nutrition in mind, and there are no hidden ingredients.”

Hours of operation will be 7 a.m. - 9 p.m. Monday – Friday, 8 a.m. - 9 p.m. Saturdays and 10 a.m.- 8 p.m. Sundays.

Guests who join Smoothie King’s Healthy Rewards loyalty program can earn points toward free smoothies, exclusive offers and personalized discounts.
