I was about to close my email when the message below appeared in my inbox.

Friends, Family, and Colleagues,
Many of you know that Tonya and I have been working for more than a year to open up a Smoothie King franchise in Bowie (Maryland). We can’t tell you how happy it makes us to be able to announce we are opening our doors at the end of this week in Bowie Town Center!
 
We would love to have you join with us in celebrating this great news by attending our private, VIP party on Sunday from 2pm – 4pm at our store - 15407 Excelsior Drive.

We’re located across the parking lot from L.A. Fitness in the town center (near Hair Cuttery, Bowie Town Barber Shop and around the corner from Safeway).
 
The mission of Smoothie King is to inspire people to live a healthy and active lifestyle and our goal in Bowie and Prince George’s County is to make our community even healthier.
Please plan to join us this Sunday between 2pm and 4pm! 
 
Best,
Steve & Tonya Brigham

I checked my calendar, I was available between 2pm and 4pm. I replied to the email stating  that I would stop by.

When I walked in the door I was greeted warmly by one of the Brigham children who wanted to make sure I had a coupon to sample a smoothie. The space was filled with patron of all ages, from toddlers to seniors. The staff patiently answered questions and then repeated smoothie selections to ensure the order was the customer specification.

While standing in line to give my order I reviewed the list of smoothie options. There were  lots of options! Many of the menu items listed the primary ingredients. On the far right side of the menu were boosters (supplements that can be added to a smoothie for a specific need , e.g. weight loss, protein, immunity boost).

I ordered a apple kiwi, kale smoothie with an immunity booster ( a combination of  Vitamin C, green tea, Zinc, Echinacea, Selenium and Beta Carotene in powder form mixed into the smoothie). The smoothie was fresh tasting and not too sweet.
 
Bowie is not metro train accessible, but there are buses that stop in Bowie Town Center.  Paring is free and there are lots of space available.  
 
Smoothie King Bowie officially opened on 17 November 2014. I've asked Steve Brigham for an interview, so please check to read  about the genesis of the Smoothie King Bowie store.
 
If your schedule permits, I hope you will consider stopping by Smoothie King Bowie. The Brighams will be glad to see you and will  make you feel welcome.
