Tauheed Epps, a native of College Park, Georgia, and known as the rapper 2 Chainz, has become a franchise owner of Smoothie King.
A press release from the Atlanta Hawks, who have partnered with Smoothie King as their official smoothie provider, revealed that 2 Chainz is the company’s latest franchisee. The artist inaugurated a new kiosk on June 26 at State Farm Arena, just in time for the Atlanta Hawks NBA Draft Party.
2 Chainz expressed his enthusiasm in a written statement, saying, “I visit Smoothie King at least twice a week, so this partnership has been a long time coming. Opening a Smoothie King in State Farm Arena felt like the right move for me. Throughout my health journey, I’ve been mindful of my choices, and when I go to games and events it’s no different – I’m always looking for nutritious options, and Smoothie King is in a class of its own when it comes to delicious smoothies with no added sugar. I’m proud to join the brand.”
Smoothie King has been associated with the Hawks since 2023 and supports 2 Chainz’s commitment to health with its Clean Blends initiative, which ensures the use of whole fruits and vegetables, no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives, and zero grams of added sugar. They also offer Smoothie Bowls.
Wan Kim, Smoothie King’s CEO, stated, “As we continue to expand, we’re thrilled to welcome 2 Chainz to our franchisee family—not to mention in collaboration with one of our great partners in the Atlanta Hawks. 2 Chainz’s passion for health and wellness aligns perfectly with our mission to inspire a healthy and active lifestyle; that coupled with his entrepreneurial spirit embodies the essence of our brand and makes this a perfect match.”
Fans can enjoy a variety of popular Smoothie King blends, including Angel Food, Gladiator Vanilla, Caribbean Way, and more.
