About the Company Playa Bowls is New Jersey’s original Acai shop, founded in 2014. Our mission is to bring superfruit bowls to the masses using only the freshest, highest‑quality ingredients while providing a fantastic in‑store brand experience. What began as a pair of blenders, a patio table, and a fridge has flourished into a 300+ unit operator and franchisor of the leading fast‑casual restaurant concept. In 2024 we added more than 70 locations and are on target to add 90 more in 2025. Our continued rapid growth has created the opportunity for an individual who will help us grow our brand.
