Must read

Robeks, the destination for fresh smoothies, juices, açai bowls, and premium toasts, is expanding its footprint in the Phoenix area with a new location in Peoria. Opening on March 8 at 8068 W Happy Valley Road. Robeks at Peoria is the 14th in the state, with 3 of the 14 locations having debuted within the past year.

The new shop is situated in The Trailhead, a 40-acre mixed-use development, and is anchored by big-box retailers like Safeway, a multifamily housing complex, and full-service restaurants. With its prime location, Robeks is well-positioned to serve workers, families, students, and busy parents on the go.

Bringing a wealth of experience in retail and customer service, local entrepreneurs Nash and Toby Bahnan, with support from their kids, are excited to introduce Robeks to the Peoria community. Since 2018, Nash has successfully operated a cell phone repair franchise and previously managed eight-plus Cricket Wireless locations, demonstrating a strong ability to run multiple business units efficiently. Now, he is channeling his leadership skills and passion for serving customers into delivering Robeks’ nutritious and flavorful offerings to the area.

“Robeks already has a loyal fan base in Phoenix, and we are thrilled to meet the growing demand for healthier, great-tasting options,” said Bahnan in a statement. “Phoenix has become a vibrant foodie destination and a hotspot for people seeking a better quality of life. We’re confident Robeks fits perfectly with the city’s vibrant culture and the community’s focus on wellness.”

Blending trending flavors with essential nutrients to fuel your body, Robeks continues to evolve its menu, offering a variety of on-the-go options. The brand has recently introduced its most protein-packed Performance Smoothies to date: Braveheart (11g protein), Blue Gorilla (44g protein), and Cookie Monster (44g protein), alongside the Power Surge smoothie, which features new premium proprietary Boosts designed to support heart health, electrolyte balance, and post-workout recovery. Likewise, previous LTOS, such as the Sweet and Sour Smoothies, have featured functional ingredients like Ashwagandha and Ginseng, helping customers destress and recharge.

“We’re excited to welcome Nash and Toby Bahnan to the Robeks family and expand our presence in the Phoenix market,” said David Rawnsley, President of Robeks. “Their extensive experience in business operations, combined with their enthusiasm for health and wellness, makes them a great fit for the brand. We look forward to seeing them bring Robeks’ fresh and flavorful offerings to the Peoria community and beyond.”

In addition to the new Peoria shop, Robeks has multiple shops under development agreement across the state.

Regular hours for Robeks at Peoria are 7 AM to 7 PM daily.
