Our Acai & Smoothie Franchise Cost

The initial franchise fee for a single Rush Bowls location is $34,500. This fee secures your franchise rights and gives you access to brand resources and support as you prepare to open your store.

The total investment to open a Rush Bowls store typically ranges from $199,050 - $545,000*. This amount can vary depending on location, store size, buildout needs, and other regional factors. During our Discovery Process, we will help you understand the full financial picture based on your specific goals.

Rush Bowls franchisees pay a 6% royalty fee and a 2% brand marketing fee, both calculated weekly based on net gross sales.

• The royalty fee gives you continued access to our brand, trademarks, proprietary systems, business consulting services, and ongoing product development.
• The brand marketing fee supports national and regional marketing efforts, including digital advertising, content creation, SEO, website management, and promotional campaigns designed to drive traffic to your store.

Franchisees looking to open multiple locations can take advantage of reduced pricing: $70,000 for a three-store agreement and $90,000 for five.

We proudly offer a 10% discount on the franchise fee for veterans and active-duty military as a thank-you for their service.

Most Rush Bowls locations operate with 1 to 3 employees per shift, and owners typically maintain a team of 8 to 14 part-time staff members. Our efficient store model helps keep labor costs manageable while still delivering excellent service to customers.

Once your store is open, you’ll handle inventory, staffing, scheduling, payroll, local marketing, and other routine operating costs. Rush Bowls provides support and established vendor relationships, but it’s the owner’s role to manage the store’s daily financial and operational performance.

Franchise resale terms are outlined in the Franchise Agreement and will be reviewed with you during the approval process. You will always have the option to sell your franchise, and if you choose to move on, our Franchise Development team can assist by placing targeted ads and qualifying potential buyers.

Although results vary depending on factors like location, store performance, and market conditions, many Franchise Owners report recovering their initial investment within 18 to 24 months. We will share more detailed information during the Discovery Process to help you evaluate your potential return on investment.
