Rush Bowls - Franchise

Why Rush Bowls?

Rush Bowls is a proven concept, pioneering the acai (and other) bowl market since 2004, when Founder and President Andrew Pudalov left a successful career in New York City’s financial sector to pursue his passion for healthy living.

Born in Boulder, CO — Rush Bowls is the perfect example of a truly healthy food franchise concept. The bowls and smoothies are crafted from only all-natural ingredients and delicious proprietary recipes featuring fresh fruit topped with granola & honey. Health-conscious consumers can feel good about the food they fuel themselves with, and you can feel good about supporting the wellness of your community.

Surging Industry

Rush Bowls blended fruit and acai bowl business is perfectly situated at the crossroads of three growing industries: the $1 trillion health food industry, $500 million acai berry industry, and the $384 million health-focused fast casual industry. Rush Bowls’ loyal fan base is rapidly growing, as consumers in these markets search for that perfect meal on-the-go that will let them feel good about the food they fuel themselves with.

Societal Shifts

We foresee these seismic shifts affecting Rush Bowls franchisees in positive ways. Some long-term; others more temporary.

• Even more attention paid to personal health, which by extension includes healthier eating;
• Greater demand for “grab ‘n go” products, which has been the Rush Bowls method of serving since 2004.

Recommended Locations

We recommend sites sized 500-1,500 square feet.

• Near universities, local colleges or large high schools
• Near hospitals and medical centers
• In redeveloped urban areas, or near new housing and shopping development projects
• In pedestrian traffic hubs like beaches
• In ski resorts, transit hubs and tourist attractions

Ideal Candidate

Rush Bowls franchisees have a passion for health, wellness, and fitness, and desire to provide a healthy meal option to their community. No prior restaurant experience is necessary due to the simple operation.

They also build loyal teams and provide a fun and exciting workplace for their employees.
