To whom it may concern,
As a resident of Coppell, for more than 10 years, we have seen our fair share of businesses closing. Along with the
challenges this year has brought, our community is committed to supporting and preventing another business from
closing its doors. With the proposal of a potential Smoothie King opening in our city, we are driving business away from
a current, well-respected business establishment in Smoothie Factory. The current owners of Smoothie Factory have
been supportive of its community in return; from partnerships with local gyms, donations to schools, giving back with
reward programs, etc. From a business standpoint, I understand the idea of providing options to patrons and allowing
for competitive markets in our community; however, adding in yet another similar business in close proximity can have
its disadvantages. Why sacrifice a current business in our community for another? Our town has suffered enough
closures, long before Covid, i.e. similar businesses & restaurants, let’s not do the same to Smoothie Factory.
Please consider our opposition in approving the opening of Smoothie King.
Best,
Gaby
Coppell Resident
