Atlanta’s State Farm Arena recently welcomed a new addition to its food options: a Smoothie King kiosk, which opened just in time for the NBA Draft. This new partnership is the latest venture of well-known rapper 2 Chainz, who has now teamed up with Smoothie King and the Hawks owners to bring healthy drink options to fans at the arena.
In a video post on Instagram, 2 Chainz shared his excitement about this new partnership and expressed gratitude to all those involved for their support. He revealed that he has been a long-time fan of smoothies and is thrilled to be partnering with Smoothie King and State Farm Arena. The kiosk opened just in time for the NBA Draft, which took place at the arena earlier this month.
This isn’t 2 Chainz’s first venture into the food business. In 2016, he opened Esco Restaurant Bar & Tapas in Atlanta with his friend and business partner Mychel “Snoop” Dillard. Less than a decade later, they have franchised the concept and now have multiple locations across the country. This latest venture continues to expand his business portfolio and make a name for himself beyond the music industry.
Recent data from Glassdoor estimates that a Smoothie King franchise owner can earn nearly $100,000 per year in total pay (including base salary and additional pay). This lucrative opportunity has attracted many entrepreneurs like 2 Chainz to partner with Smoothie King and open their own kiosks or franchises.
