A Healthy Deal

Area Tropical Smoothie Café locations announce discounts for healthcare professionals during their October healthcare focus.

The three Wilmington-area locations of Tropical Smoothie Café, LLC, owned and operated by Leland residents Brandon and Deena Korman, are making October 2020 the month that they honor a series of healthcare professionals. The smoothie and food restaurants in Leland, Wilmington and Porter’s Neck will be incentivizing the healthcare community to eat healthily.

“Tropical Smoothie Café is committed to the health of the Cape Fear region,” Brandon Korman says. “Whether that health is the calm one feels when they are on tropical time, as our name infers, or by eating quick food that’s healthier than fast-food chains. Our cafe menu is filled with fresh ingredients to promote a healthy lifestyle. It only makes sense that we show a little love to the healthcare professionals in our region, especially when there are so many national honors happening this month.”

Korman notes that his franchise supports the healthcare industry and has already delivered more than 1,000 free smoothies to medical workers across the region. This local effort is in addition to the corporate headquarters donation of $100,000 to the American Nurses Association during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Healthcare professionals will be celebrated at each of the three Wilmington area Tropical Smoothie Cafés. For the week they are being recognized on a national scale, individual Cape Fear area healthcare workers will be offered a $1.99 smoothie with purchase of any food item. Pharmacy and medical office orders throughout October will receive $5 off purchase of $25 to 49; $10 of $50 to 99 and $25 off $100 or more.

National celebrations include:
• October 4 to 10 National Midwifery Week
• October 5 to 9 National Primary Care Physicians Week
• October 14 National Emergency Nurses Day
• October 18 to 24 National Pharmacy Week
• October 19 to 23 National Medical Assistant Recognition Week
