Tropical Smoothie Cafe is planning to open a location in Bar W Marketplace in October.

Operating multiple states, Tropical Smoothie Cafe specializes in smoothies and offers various food options such as flatbreads, wraps, sandwiches, quesadillas and salads.

Franchisees Mike and Kara Sheppard recently opened a Tropical Smoothie in Northwest Austin, and they are the owners of the new Leander location at 19388 Ronald Reagan Blvd., Ste. 620. Construction on the new location is anticipated to begin in July.

Mike Sheppard said it is “very exciting to bring Tropical Smoothie Cafe to the community.”
