Long-time manager, new franchisee

Since 2018, Skyler Blacknall served as a multi-unit manager for Smoothie King Corporate-owned stores. He had been saving up to become a Smoothie King franchisee for almost a decade. Skyler Blacknall had appeared on the television show, Undercover Boss with Smoothie King CEO Wan Kim. His reward on Undercover Boss was a company loan to become an owner. Almost immediately after buying his franchise, Smoothie King encouraged him to move to ADP for his payroll and other HR-related needs. Listen in below to hear more from Skyler and why Smoothie King loves working with ADP.

I believe ADP will play a key role in helping me move forward. Without a successful payroll system, it’s very hard to grow, to be successful. ADP will definitely help me achieve my goals.
