Canadian Smoothie Market?

Question

Hi. I am doing a Marketing Report on setting up a British Smoothie Company in Canada was hoping someone could tell me what are the main smoothie brands already set up in Canada? Also what fruit is available in Canada? Would it be easier to import in fruit? Thanks!!

Answer 1

The main franchise is Booster Juice. They have a diverse menu including a few sandwiches. They get their name from the fact that they have additions (a booster) such as "power" or "alertness" that are a collection of herbs or high antioxidant juices (e.g. ginseng, protein powder, Ginko, etc.) that get added to the basic smoothie.

Main ingredients here in Canada seem to be berries (raspberry, strawberry, blueberry, cherry), melons, citrus, etc but they also have access to some exotic juices such as acai which I think they get prepackaged (as opposed to the fruit). Their website is below.
