30% of all restaurants in the United States are Fast Casual franchises. There are nearly 800,000 franchise businesses in the U.S. Franchising might be the most proven model of business in history.
According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, less than 10% of all franchise outlets fail annually. The franchising industry has created over 21 million jobs in the United States.
Overall, franchise businesses contributed $670 billion of economic output into the U.S. economy in 2020 even amidst a global pandemic, and that number is expected to grow by 7% in 2021. The franchising industry has shown consistent growth, even during times of health and financial crises like in 2007-2008 and 2020.

We Blend Two Segments
Our blended fruit and acai bowl business is perfectly situated at the crossroads of two growing industries: the health foods industry and the fast casual dining industry. Rush Bowls’ loyal fan base is rapidly growing, as consumers in both markets search for that perfect meal on-the-go that will let them feel good about the food they fuel themselves with.
The popularity of chains that offer quick yet healthy meals is driven by millennials who grew up watching the Food Network and aging baby boomers who want to maintain their health.
“Younger consumers eat out a lot, and they don’t want to feel bad about their choices every day,” said Kelly Weikel, senior consumer research manager at Technomic, a food industry consulting firm. “Eating healthy is also appealing for boomers. When they eat out, they go for a little bit healthier because they are trying to preserve their vitality.”
We have spent years interacting with and happily serving the elusive demographic of 18–28 that consumes more fast casual food than most. Simply put, we get them and they get us.
The Rise of Acai Bowls
How did a tiny berry from Brazil make its way into the halls of superfood fame in the United States? Acai first came to the attention of American consumers in the 1990s, but skyrocketed in popularity after a string of celebrity endorsements from people like Gwyneth Paltrow, Camila Mendez, Kim Kardashian and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex. With hundreds of millions of followers on social media combined between these women and others who have posted their favorite acai bowl recipes, acai was bound to gain the attention of the public — and with good reason.
Acai is incredibly healthy. Thanks to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory qualities, acai has the potential to help lower the risk for age-related diseases like Parkinson’s or Alzheimer's. It is also high in fiber, which can promote a healthy heart and support weight loss. Other studies have shown its ability to promote clear, healthy skin.
Acai bowls are big for business as well. In 2017, the industry was valued at more than $713 million. It’s estimated that the value of acai will rise at a steady rate of 12.71% through at least 2025. It remains popular on social media as well. Instagram, for instance has more than 3.3 million posts containing the #acai, and more than 2.2 million posts containing the #acaibowl. With its gorgeous color, acai bowls are as aesthetically pleasing as they are delicious. With so many customization options available for your customers and a market that is exploding with popularity, it’s no wonder that Rush Bowls owners have met with so much success.
We’ve worked hard to create an innovative and welcoming space for people who seek to thrive...from their life experiences and social circles, to what they put in their bodies.
Simple and Scalable
Our lower initial investment, simple operation and strong unit economics also allow our franchise owners the ability to more easily open more locations. We are looking for like-minded entrepreneurs who want to capitalize on this industry and help us become the dominant national brand in this space.
