DALLAS - March 6, 2019 // PRNewswire // - Smoothie King, the world's leading smoothie brand, has named restaurant industry veteran Rebecca Miller as its new chief marketing officer to support its fast growth, an upcoming rebrand and strategy for the Clean Blends initiative.

"I look forward to helping Smoothie King further its mission to inspire guests to lead healthy, active lifestyles, while supporting growth and franchisee success," said Miller. "Wan and the team have such a clear vision for this brand, and I am eager to help realize it at both the corporate and local levels."
