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.
Strong Economics
By combining a uniquely delicious and healthy product with an incredibly efficient business model focusing on low overhead, you'll have yourself one healthy bottom line.
Simple Operation
A concept without hoods, ovens, or grills; just blenders and a freezer! You can enjoy the revenues and stability of the restaurant business, without the headaches!
Outstanding Support
We invested in an experienced team of franchise support professionals, offering an unparalleled guide to ensure our franchise owners are successful. We have a full team ready to support your growth.
Flexible Footprint
You don't have the expensive build-outs, the high overhead, or have to deal with the complexities of a traditional dine-in restaurant. Our model is simple to set up, easy to run, and can be supported by a small staff.
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
