Rush Bowls is one such concept and beyond its menu, the brand has an efficient, easily scalable model perfectly tailored for our post-pandemic retail environment. That's why it was an easy choice for our Top 40 list."

Our Story

CU Icon for Rush Bowls Acai Franchise

2004

Tired of NYC, Andrew Pudalov leaves as head of Derivative Trading at a major Wall Street bank and relocates with his young family to Boulder, CO – a city he had visited as a child and to where he had always wanted to return. Always a heathy eater, he tinkered in his kitchen – equal parts scientist, chef, and creative director- to test and refine the concept we now know as Rush Bowls. Andrew launched his concept by opening a 400 s/f store on “The Hill” - very near the University of Colorado (CU). Andrew and Rush Bowls are instantly successful, with word of mouth causing customer lines to snake out the door.

2008

The recession causes many national brands to fail in Boulder – traditionally one of the most competitive food environments in the country. Despite the upheavals, Rush Bowls continues to thrive, as its craveable products remain a staple of people’s diets. Andrew continues to develop the Rush Bowls menu with innovative new items such as healthy blended fruit bowls and more.

2015

After turning down offers to expand Rush Bowls every year, Andrew decided in 2015 the time was right to offer franchises because he was able to offer a nationwide support network, giving all acai and smoothie franchise owners the necessary advice, counsel, and guidance to succeed.

2020

Andrew celebrates his 16-year anniversary at the same Boulder location – clearly establishing Rush Bowls as a local institution. Franchise growth continues during the COVID pandemic, as our products and business model are perfectly suited for the consequent societal changes.
