We are an independent Milkshake and Fruit Fusion Smoothie Bar right in the centre of Derby. We have been making delicious Shakes for our customers since 2007 (that’s a lot of Shakes!) Our customers come back time and time again, and our vision is really very simple:
where Milkshake-Making Sessions were very popular.
Our Free Shake Vouchers are a valued raffle prize and we respond positively to requests for help with fundraising whenever we can. Local primary schools have benefited from Gift Voucher giveaways which they’ve used to raise money or in other ways, such as rewards for good attendance.
We are all being encouraged to think about what we eat and drink and there is much more awareness about sugar in everyday foods. We don't do ‘mega’ Shakes in massive cups and we talk about our Milkshakes as a tasty treat and not something designed for breakfast, lunch and tea! Parents can choose the right size Shake for their children with our Junior Shake.
Our Fruit Fusion range includes twelve ‘smootheelicious’ recipes, which can be enjoyed as part of your five-a-day. We use Individually Quick Frozen (IQF) fruit ingredients from our award-winning supplier. In terms of nutritional value, freezing is the best way of preserving fruit as freezing arrests the product at peak ripeness, preserving the vitamins and minerals which make fruit so nutritious.
Volunteering work with our chosen charities is encouraged as that helps to build confidence and adds value to future CVs.
We offer employment opportunities to young people and try to agree shifts that suit their educational commitments if we can. Some of our team start with us during their school years, leave us to go off to university after several years’ service and come back to help fund repayment of their student loan.
Business responsibilities
We retain the services of RBS Mentor to provide advice and support on employment law, HR, health, safety and environmental management. Our systems, policies and procedures are auditable and accessible. Training is delivered through a mix of e-learning, NVQs and external provision with support from specialist training organisations. We have implemented the highest operational standards and are proud of our five-star Environmental Health rating. We actively support intu Derby’s recycling initiatives and, wherever possible, we procure services and supplies from local companies.
We're open every day of the week in the intu Derby shopping centre, on Level 1 near M & S and Costa Coffee.*
