Our Roots
Delicious Acai and Smoothie Bowls
In 2004, our founder and CEO, Andrew Pudalov, left a successful 15-year career in New York City’s financial sector to pursue his passion for health and wellness. After serving as Global Head of Fixed Income Derivative Trading at National Australia Bank, Andrew relocated to Boulder, Colorado with his family to bring his vision to life: creating a place where healthy food could taste great, be made with real ingredients, and serve as a complete, nourishing meal.
Later that year, Andrew opened Boulder’s first all-natural acai bowl and smoothie bar in the University Hill district. At a time when smoothies and bowls were still a niche category, Rush Bowls quickly resonated with the community by offering a fresh, nutritious alternative to traditional fast-casual dining. As demand grew, so did the menu and the brand’s mission of making healthy eating convenient, approachable, and craveable.
Over the years, Andrew has led Rush Bowls through major economic and industry shifts while maintaining a disciplined, long-term approach to growth rooted in strong operations, authentic wellness, and innovation. Today, Rush Bowls has grown into a nationally recognized franchise brand with more than 50 locations open and over 100 in development across the country.
