Plano franchise owners Calei and Kodei Kesterson said their 1,600 square foot store will also feature the new Tropical Smoothie Café decor package with its island-inspired atmosphere.

“Joining the Tropical Smoothie Café system has proven to be a wise endeavor for me. It is a unique brand, with a bold, fresh, flavorful menu which is what attracted me to the business,” Calei said.
