Today we’d like to introduce you to Corbin Conley.
Hi Corbin, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
I have been into fitness and supplements my whole life, being an athlete. I went to school at UCM and played football there. I started working at The Smoothie Shop in 2019 as a summer job, and weekends when it wasn’t football season. I really loved helping people with their goals in fitness, nutrition and supplements. After college I stayed in the business and the goal was always to eventually open up other smoothie and supplement shops. In 2022 I was blessed to be able to become the owner of the one I had been working at. I am now looking to expand and open up more shops!
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It definitely hasn’t been easy. The biggest challenge stepping into entrepreneurship is taking all the weight onto your shoulders. When you own your own business it really becomes 24/7. There is no fully clocking out, and at times it can feel exhausting but in the end it is worth it. People think that when you own your own business you just kick back and relax but in reality you work for everyone else, you’re responsible for keeping customers happy, managing employees and constantly finding ways to grow the business so you can provide for others. Regardless of how you feel you have to execute, other people will win or lose if you win or lose.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
We are The Smoothie Shop and Supplements, We offer all kinds of healthy smoothies and sell quality supplements. I think there are many things that really sets us apart from most smoothie shops, especially when it comes to our quality of ingredients, we are very mindful of what we use for all smoothies, we do not use any dyes, flavored syrups, or powder fillers like a lot of other places use. We like to use more natural and real ingredients, this drives our production costs up but producing tasty smoothies that are actually healthy is important to us. Also we are a very personable small business, we have genuine relationships with our customers and love helping them on their nutritional goals. We really value the customers and their experience more than anything. We have so many options and customizable smoothies, no matter what kind of diet you are on or food allergies you may have, we have something for everyone. If you are in the area and would like a great smoothie and or nutritional guidance come check us out!
What was your favorite childhood memory?
My favorite childhood memory was winning a little league football championship, playing alongside all of the friends I grew up with, and having my whole family there to celebrate.
