Smoothie King

This place rarely has patrons which made me wonder how they stay in business until I figured out that the store is just a front for the much more lucrative side hustle. Parking in that area is horrific due to Venezia and Brocato, which are always popping unlike smoothie king. I parked for less than 5 minutes since not a living soul was in the store and only an extremely healthy looking rat(probably the only creature who gets anything from smoothie king) in the always empty parking lot. I thought it was closed. I come out approximately 3 minutes later, if that, to find my car jacked up by a tow truck. $140 cash was demanded of me. After mugging me, a truck that wasn't even parked in the lot was then lifted and sitting in the corner of the parking lot for more than half an hour. I saw that truck and it WAS NOT blocking the driveway but I'm sure that will be their excuse for holding it for ransom. I suppose when you can't sell overpriced goods you have to find some way to pay the bills. Hopefully karma will come to the tow truck driver who gets $50 per transaction and also the smoothie king owner. I cannot wait to see that useless, wasted space boarded up and closed for good.

Sign on the door says they close at 9pm. But they literally shut the door 15 minutes prior and said they were counting the drawer. Respect your hours or change them, we visit your location to get your product not get disrespected. If you check my profile I rarely leave bad revirews unless deserved. Don't come here unless you got "plenty of time" to make it.

Worth driving to another location.

Randomly closes, will tell you on the phone that they’re open just for you to drive there and find out that they’re either only taking mobile orders OR that they're completely closed for some odd reason that Is 9/10 a lie.

Thee best Smoothie King in the neighborhood! The best service all around. Never a dull smoothie! Thanks staff!

As is tradition with many places in New Orleans, this place likes to say they are "closed" before they're actually closed. The advertised closing time is 9pm, I showed up at 8:53pm, knowing exactly what I wanted. It would have taken less than 7 mins to make. I could see the clerk in there with the lights on and everything, but the door was locked. Furthermore, the neon "Open" sign was on in the window. At least other places in New Orleans, when they pull this fake "closed" stunt, will turn off the Open sign. All signs indicated that this place was still open. If your closing hour is 8:50pm, say so. Don't say 9pm and then close at 8:50.

Horrible customer service.... I was skipped when placing my order beccause "a regular customer " came in, then I was told I couldn't customize my smoothie. I've never been told that at any other location. All I asked for was no water, sub for almond milk and extra strawberries. I will not be going back to this location anymore.

Smoothie were good. Workers didn’t seem to wanted to be there. Zero personality.
