Surf City Squeeze

The business of Surf City Squeeze is to design, build and franchise blended fruit smoothie retail outlets. Founder Kevin Blackwell created the business concept in 1981 in Phoenix, Arizona. Since then, we've opened over 160 Surf City Squeeze locations nationwide. Our proprietary Smoothie Mix is the cornerstone to Surf City Squeeze Smoothies, which make up 90% of the menu. Quality products, excellence in service, and genuine customer satisfaction are the business foundation.

Our menu consists of outrageously delicious smoothies, chillers, & lemonades of all flavors. Whether it's Strawberry Banana, Pineapple, Watermelon, or any one of our dozens of varieties, we offer a line up of blended treats that make for a swell lunch, dinner, or even breakfast.
