MixStirs Makes Smoothies for Health Day at Rhame Ave Elementary School

East Rockaway, NY, June 15, 2009 – MixStirs spent the day sharing the health benefits of drinking smoothies with students at Rhame Ave Elementary School. As part of the culmination of the school’s Healthy Living Campaign, students and faculty enjoyed the health benefits of two MixStirs favorites, the Smashin Supreme and the Mixd Dream. The event proved healthy eating can be fun.

This is the best smoothie I ever tasted says Melissa, a 5th grade student whose mom makes her smoothies at home, I am bringing this menu home to my mom. When asked if he ever had a smoothie before, Joe, a 2nd grader said, I never had one before but I like this a lot!

“We are honored to donate our time for such a fantastic event. Providing the children and faculty of this wonderful school the opportunity to taste Mixstirs Smoothies, reinforces the idea that healthy foods are also delicious foods.” said Mike Greenberg, President and Founder of MixStirs, “Many of these kids are being exposed to healthy smoothies for the first time and they are amazed at how good fruit tastes.”

MixStirs great tasting smoothies continue to grow in popularity as the trend continues toward healthy alternatives to fast food. MixStirs uses fresh fruit flown in from the west coast. To ensure that the fruit is at its optimal taste, it is flash frozen and shipped to the East Coast. Using this frozen fruit allows MixStirs to use a very small amount of ice, 10% – 20% of what its competitors use, creating smoothies that taste very sweet without having to add any sugar.

MixStirs has over 20 locations across the country making fresh fruit smoothies and protein shakes. To find the MixStirs closest to you please visit http://mixstirs.com.

Residents Will Flip Over the Smoothie Selection!

GREAT NECK N.Y. – April 20, 2009 – New York now has another healthy alternative to fast food, thanks to the introduction of the first MixStirs in Nassau County.

Located at 90 East Shore Rd, the new cafe is the 3rd MixStirs in New York and opens just in time for the spring. To introduce locals to MixStirs wide selection of award-winning soups, smoothies, wraps, sandwiches and salads, owner Ray Ahklakur welcomes gym members to enjoy an alternate, healthier snack, lunch or dinner compared with typical fast food fare.

“We’re thrilled to introduce the people of Great Neck to MixStirs nutritious, awardwinning menu,” says Ray. “We’re not your typical smoothie shop. We have an exciting menu with plenty of great choices. I’m happy to say that the members of the Great Neck Equinox finally have a cafe that meets their need for a healthy snack or meal.”

The MixStirs franchise headquarters are in Garden City, N.Y. founded by Mike Greenberg in 2007, the privately held company began offering franchises immediately. When Ray found out about the company’s original approach and commitment to providing a healthy, flavorful menu, he decided to open his first location in the New York Sports Club in Glendale, NY in early 2007. “I was really impressed with the high nutritional value and the great product selection” Ray said.

The café’s friendly attitude is complimented by the many flavors and colors of its juiceor yogurt-based smoothies, which can be enhanced by a selection of vitamin- or herb-infused “power boosts” to address a variety of individual needs. MixStirs has also been praised for its soups, many of which are low-fat, vegetarian or dairy-free.

In addition to the smoothies, the new store in Great Neck offers an ever changing variety of gourmet wraps, salads, and a variety of fresh-squeezed juice blends, protein shakes and assorted energy drinks. The new store even serves breakfast, from egg white sandwiches and breakfast wraps to oatmeal and a selection of bagels, muffins and pastries.

Over the past two years, more than 20 MixStirs franchises have opened in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and Nevada.

It Takes More Than Smiles to Bring Customers Back

Many of our members have responded to their current economic challenges by increasing their focus on customer service. They are working with their service staff now more than ever to ensure that their servers are genuinely friendly, smile, and are willing to go the extra mile to take the best possible care of their guests.

Creating warm, fuzzy feelings with your guests and earning a reputation for having the friendliest staff in town is definitely something to shoot for. But there’s still no substitute for operational competence, i.e. good food, clean restrooms and no surprises.

Operational competence, the ability to deliver a quality dining experience, consistently over and over depends on having good systems. While having the friendliest, most personable staff in the world is certainly a plus, it won’t make up for a kitchen that can’t get it right.

Good systems help ensure that things get done right the first time so your guests can expect the same quality experience every time they come in.

Improving your customer service in these challenging times is a smart way to give your guests a reason to choose your restaurant more often. But don’t forget that good customer service depends on good systems, not just smiles.
