Callgron Enterprises LLC DBA The Smoothie Spot | Application Preview
Callgron Enterprises LLC, doing business as The Smoothie Spot, is seeking government grants to advance its mission of providing nutritious food options. They plan to utilize the funds for several key initiatives: expanding their existing workspace to improve efficiency, acquiring new equipment to streamline smoothie production, and implementing a mobile service to enhance versatility in their offerings.
Currently operating a single location in central Maine, the business aims to open an additional brick-and-mortar store in Maine and a mobile option within the next five years. They also have plans to expand into Virginia by establishing two more locations.
The company emphasizes the importance of healthy eating and aims to counter misleading claims made by some establishments in the nutrition sector. The Smoothie Spot prides itself on creating genuine, beneficial products and fostering a positive environment for both customers and staff. They believe their established brand, combined with new revenue opportunities, positions them for success.
In terms of competition, their primary competitor is Herbalife, along with other nutrition-focused places misrepresenting their offerings. A challenge they face is the public's lack of awareness regarding genuine healthy food choices.
The Smoothie Spot's competitive edge lies in its products, which are backed by a health and fitness coach, ensuring high-quality ingredients. Their commitment to exceptional customer service and community engagement further strengthens their appeal, promoting a loyal customer base.

Business Plan
Currently we have one location in central Maine. Within the next five years we would like to expand to one more brick and mortar property in Maine, and one Mobil option. We would also like to expand to VA opening two brick and mortar locations. As a company our main goal is to get healthy food options to as many people as possible. There have been a lot of “nutrition” establishments opening in the last few years that are not really what they say they are. We strive to make all of our products to the benefit of our customers. We have created a strong brand that we believe could strive with new revenue stream options. Our product focuses on our customers and our leaders focus on developing our team. It has created a great atmosphere for both parties.

Self Identified Competition
Herbal life is the top competitor for us. All the “nutrition” place opening lately claiming to be healthy. The third is not an actual business, it’s the lack of information that the public has about healthy food and their options. Our products have been tested and approved by a health and fitness coach. Using his years of experience to ensure the right ingredients are going into each product. Our guest service is top notch. Having a lasting effect on returning customers. We are constantly giving out information about our products and our mission to the community so we know we are there for them.
