The location was destroyed by Hurricane Harvey in 2017 and was rebuilt by Farley with support from the local community.
Farley said: “Just a few months ago, Rockport was virtually unrecognisable but through perseverance and hard work, we have rebuilt our city.
“I’m excited to start serving my community again and am so grateful for Tropical Smoothie Cafe’s endless support.”
The new restaurants will serve the company’s menu including snack and meal options, salads, sandwiches, wraps, flatbreads along with smoothies.
