Everyone visiting the store during the grand opening hours will receive free smoothies, Hemming said.

“Technically, (the Tyson's Corner location) doesn’t really serve the Vienna neighborhood," Perel said. "This (new) location will be in the heart of the neighborhood of Vienna. This is much more of a neighborhood store."

With this new location, Perel said Robeks hopes to become a strong part of the community, doing a lot of things to support local, community groups such as fundraisers, races and working with local schools to try to bring a healthy environment.

Robeks has more than 130 locations in the United States owned by different franchise owners, Hemming said.

Fairfax County residents David and Leslie Hutchinson own the newest Robeks location. This store makes it the Hutchinson’s ninth Robeks store, Perel said.
