Smoothie King hours

Most Smoothie King locations are open 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM Saturday, and 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM Sunday. The chain is closed on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day at most stores.

Smoothie King (founded 1973 in Kenner, Louisiana by Steve and Cindy Kuhnau as a health-food store offering custom-blended smoothies; the original American smoothie chain, predating Jamba by 17 years; privately held by Wan Kim and SK Group since 2012) is an American fast-casual smoothie chain with about 1,300 US locations weighted heavily across the Southern states.

Common questions are about Sunday hours, what time the morning workout window opens, the Gladiator high-protein line, the Slim-N-Trim and Lean1 meal-replacement smoothies, and which holidays close every Smoothie King (Christmas and Thanksgiving) versus which stay open.

One quirk worth knowing: Smoothie King leans hard on a fitness-and-wellness positioning (Rule the Day tagline; the chain is the naming sponsor of the New Orleans Pelicans NBA arena, Smoothie King Center) with Gladiator high-protein, Slim-N-Trim weight-management, and Wellness Blends accounting for a meaningful share of mix versus the dessert-leaning smoothie segments at competitors.
