Category: Food & Beverage: Restaurant/QSR/Catering

Concept Description

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.

Rush Bowls, born in Boulder, Colorado, offers bowls crafted from only all-natural ingredients and delicious proprietary recipes featuring fresh fruit topped with granola & honey. Healthy conscious consumers can feel good about the food they fuel themselves with, and you can feel good about supporting the wellness of your community, and your bank account.

Rush Bowls has a unique advantage in that its leadership team knows exactly what it’s like to be a Franchise Owner, and perhaps more importantly, how to achieve true success as a franchisee.

INDUSTRY

  • $1 TRILLION – The health food industry has reached staggering demand and shows no signs of stopping.
