Smoothie shop opens today in Wash. Twp.
WASHINGTON TWP., Montgomery County — You’ll excuse Rhonda Everitt if she feels a touch of deva vu today as she serves customers at the Planet Smoothie shop that opened this morning, April 3, at 430 Miamisburg-Centerville Road.
A decade ago, she was doing the very same thing as a part-time employee of a Planet Smoothie at this very location. But on this day, Everitt is the franchise owner, having resurrected the shop that closed about a year ago.
“I liked the experience so much, I went and opened one of my own,” Everitt said of her tenure as a part-timer at the Planet Smoothie in 1999-2000.
The store she opened is located at 7578 Cox Lane in West Chester, and it’s still operating. But when she heard that her Planet Smoothie “alma mater” had closed, she started taking steps to revive it. Those steps bore fruit with the Friday opening.
Everitt said she’d like to open a second Planet Smoothie in the Dayton area, but hasn’t chosen a location.
Planet Smoothies offer smoothies in several categories — Protein, Weight Loss, Wellness, Energy and Cool Blended — with a variety of blending ingredients. Its biggest seller is the Twig & Berries Smoothie, which contains strawberries, bananas and yogurt. The shop also sells protein bars and vegan cookies.
The new Planet Smoothie employs five people, though Everitt expects that number to grow to seven or eight. The store’s hours are 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday.
The store’s phone number is (937) 938-9900.
