Vista Nutrition, 504 Gervais Street: September 2021 1 comment
I somehow managed to get pictures of all sides of this building during a May walk-through of the Vista -- all sides *except* for the actual front view of the Vista Nutrition storefront. I'll try to fill that in later. Anyway, Vista Nutrition opened in January of 2021 to serve a variety of healthy shakes, teas & smoothies.
ColaDaily has two stories, one on the store's opening, and another on the closing.

UPDATE 12 October 2021 -- Here are some (so so) pictures of the front side of the building:
Steam & Ice, 275 Harbison Boulevard Suite M: January 2020 no comments
Steam & Ice seems to have been a coffee, smoothie, dessert & milkshake shop. Among other things, they were know for milkshakes topped with cotton-candy (which there is no way I can imagine liking, but your milage may vary), boba-tea, and acai bowls.
From what I can tell, they closed around January of 2020, so before the pandemic. Looking at the reviews, it appears that people liked it when it was open, but that there were ongoing staffing and early closing issues before the shutdown.
Nestle Toll House Cafe / Planet Smoothie, 461 Town Center Place Suite 1: 28 April 2019 1 comment
I got a couple of reports in June of 2017 that this place had closed. I actually did drive out there to get some pictures, and found that they were actually closed for upfitting as they were adding a Planet Smoothie operation.
In the event that must not have worked out for them, as they are closed for good this, with their Facebook page citing "Many factors" in the decision.
To me, the location appears pretty good as it is catty-cornered from the Sandhill movie theaters, and would be a good place to get a snack while waiting for your movie. Of course that only works if your movie is pretty early.

Tropical Smoothies, 1150 Bower Parkway #F2: 14 September 2011 (moved) 4 comments
This little smoothie cafe was tucked away in a corner of Columbiana Station off of Bower Parkway near Wild Wing. I can't say I ever noticed it before as I don't get there too often, and am not a big fan of smoothies anway. It's right next to Hobbytown USA which seems to be undergoing.. something as well.
