In a town that prizes local roots, Robeks of Parker stands out - not just for its smoothies and acai bowls, but for the four familiar faces behind the counter. For owners Dara and Cliff Flowers and Darcy and Brent Hendricks, this isn't just a franchise. The story of this partnership actually began long before they took ownership in April 2025. Dara and Darcy aren't just business partners; they are sisters. In fact, this quartet seemed destined for this venture dating back to their double wedding in 2000.
From Fans to Owners
After 18 years of raising their families in Parker and sending their kids to Legend and Lutheran High Schools, the couples transitioned from loyal customers to owners in April 2025.
"We were here all the time as customers. When the opportunity came to buy it, we jumped. We already loved the product; To be able to do something like this with my wife and her sister at this point in our lives is pretty exciting. We were customers here long before we were owners."
More Than Just a Smoothie
While Robeks has a reputation for world-class smoothies, the families are eager to let the community in on a little secret: the food. From their new line of "Harmonious Bites" (premium toast and wraps) to their signature acai bowls, the shop is evolving into a full-service healthy stop for busy Parker families. Because they were fans of the product before they bought the store, the couples maintain a high standard for every order that goes out the door.
A True Community Partner
Perhaps the most impactful part of the Robeks story is their commitment to local youth. Darcy, a former teacher and coach, manages the staff with a focus on mentorship. For many high school students, Robeks is their very first job.
"We take the responsibility of a kid’s first job seriously," explains Cliff. "This is their introduction to the real world. We want to teach them character and skills they’ll take into college and beyond."
Whether they are sponsoring a local "Wish Week," supporting athletics programs, or hiring the kids they used to see on the sidelines of youth sports, the mission is clear: Community first.
"We want Robeks to be a part of what’s going on in Parker. We aren't just a shop in the community; we are a family in the community."
