ADRIAN — The Adrian location of Tropical Smoothie Cafe, which opened on July 15 at Division Street and U.S. 223, is the third franchise owned by Jerry Bobchick with his son and business partner, Justin.

Bobchick decided to open a location in Adrian when he was in town doing some work for another company.

“I noticed the town was lacking a few things, and I thought ‘What better to add to this town than a Tropical Smoothie?’ ” he said. 

The main items on the menu are the smoothies, which can be made from a combination of fruit, juice, chocolate, cappuccino, and non-fat yogurt, as well as other items. 

“Of course we have smoothies, we have 30 different smoothies,” Bobchick said. “You can add supplements to [them] if you like — protein powders, vitamin C, probiotics — they all have that option.”

Other options for the smoothies include vegetables such as spinach and kale, peanut butter and almonds, protein additives, oats, chia seeds and more.

In addition to the smoothies, diners will find more on the menu when they visit Tropical Smoothie. Food items are also a big part of the menu.

“The best kept secret about Tropical Smoothie is the food,” Bobchick said. “It’s amazing.”

The menu includes wraps and sandwiches, flatbread sandwiches, quesadillas, salads and bowls. Breakfast flatbread sandwiches, wraps and quesadillas are available all day, and a selection of sides and sweets is also on the menu. A kids’ menu is also available. 

The store is now hiring. Anyone interested can apply online at TropicalSmoothieFranchise.com or in person. 

“We’re actively seeking experienced managers,” Bobchick said. 

Tropical Smoothie Cafe is at 1376 Division St., Suite A, at the east end of the Meijer parking lot. Hours are 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday, and 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday.
