Smoothie King is a franchise-based chain of smoothie and health beverage shops offering a wide variety of blended fruit smoothies, protein and fitness blends, meal replacement shakes, and wellness-focused drinks. Many locations also sell nutritional supplements, protein bars, and other grab-and-go health snacks. The brand focuses on customizable drinks that can be tailored for fitness, weight management, and overall wellness.
A charge from Smoothie King may appear on your card statement when you purchase smoothies, food items, or nutritional products in-store or through their mobile app/online ordering platform. Depending on the processor used, the descriptor may include a prefix like "PAR*" and a store or location code such as "SK06." You might also see multiple small charges if you place separate orders or if an initial authorization is adjusted to the final amount after modifications or tips are added.
If you have questions about a Smoothie King charge, first check your recent in-store receipts, the Smoothie King app order history, or email confirmations from online orders. For a specific store charge, you can contact that location directly; their phone number and hours are typically listed on the store locator at smoothieking.com. If the store cannot resolve your concern, you can escalate to Smoothie King’s customer service through their website contact form. In cases of suspected fraud or unrecognized transactions, contact your bank or card issuer promptly to dispute the charge and request a card replacement if needed.

These are the raw merchant codes that appear on bank and credit card statements that we've identified as belonging to Smoothie King.
Why does my statement show a charge as "PAR* SMOOTHIS KING" instead of "Smoothie King"?
Many Smoothie King locations use third-party payment processors, so your statement descriptor may include a processor prefix like "PAR*" and a shortened or slightly truncated version of the name. This is still a legitimate Smoothie King purchase from a specific store identified by an internal code such as "SK06."
What are typical purchase amounts for Smoothie King?
Typical Smoothie King charges range from about $5–$15 for individual smoothies, with larger or add-in heavy drinks costing more. Orders with multiple smoothies, food items, or supplements can result in higher totals, and tips added at checkout will be included in the final transaction amount.
Can Smoothie King place a temporary hold or authorization on my card?
Yes. When you pay with a card, Smoothie King’s payment processor may place a temporary authorization that can differ slightly from the final total. If you add a tip or modify your order, the final captured amount may change, and the original authorization should drop off your account within a few business days.
How can I get a copy of my Smoothie King receipt for a specific charge?
You can obtain a receipt by returning to or calling the specific Smoothie King location where you made the purchase and providing the date, approximate time, and last four digits of your card. If you ordered through the Smoothie King app or online, you can usually find past receipts or order details in your account’s order history or in email confirmations.
How do I request a refund or correction for an incorrect Smoothie King charge?
Start by contacting the store where the transaction occurred and explain the issue (wrong amount, duplicate charge, or incorrect item). Bring or share any receipts or screenshots you have. If the store cannot resolve it promptly, you can reach out to Smoothie King customer support via the contact form on smoothieking.com and, if necessary, dispute the charge with your bank or card issuer.
How can I verify which Smoothie King location the "SK06" or similar code refers to?
Store codes like "SK06" are internal identifiers used by the franchise or payment processor. To match a code to a location, compare the transaction date and time with your visits and contact nearby Smoothie King stores you frequent, or check your app order history to see which location fulfilled the order on that date.
Does Smoothie King offer subscriptions or recurring billing that might lead to repeated charges?
Smoothie King’s core business is pay-per-order, so most charges are one-time transactions tied to individual purchases. However, some locations or promotions may offer loyalty programs or pre-paid rewards, but these typically do not auto-bill like a subscription. If you see repeated charges you don’t recognize, review your app account and contact customer service or your bank.
How can I contact Smoothie King about an issue with my payment?
For transaction-specific issues, contact the store where the purchase occurred using the phone number listed in the store locator at smoothieking.com. For broader concerns or if you do not know which store charged you, use the contact or feedback form on smoothieking.com, providing the transaction date, amount, and the exact descriptor from your bank statement.
