Capitalize on the demand for healthy food
Once upon a time, Rush Bowls founder Andrew Pudalov left New York’s high-pressure financial sector to pursue his passion for healthy living.
In 2004, after relocating his family to Boulder, Colorado, Pudalov created and refined his smash-hit bowl and smoothie concept featuring flash frozen fruits and vegetables blended with protein, vitamins and other all-natural ingredients to a thick and creamy perfection and then topped with fresh fruit, gluten-free granola and honey.
After 12 years of success and aligning with partner and restaurateur, Buddy Brown, the duo was ready to take the concept national and started franchising in late 2016. Today, Rush Bowls has 100 units in various stages of development across 16 states and in Canada.
Health-conscious consumers love the decadent-tasting breakfasts, lunches, and dinners that are filling, low in calories, and high in nutrition. With no artificial sweeteners or preservatives, meals can be tailored for dietary restrictions such as non-dairy, vegan, or gluten-free.
Franchisees do not need a restaurant background and love the low overhead and simple operation. Stores need only small spaces (500 to 1,200 square feet) and minimal employees; blenders and freezers are the key equipment. Franchisees also feel secure knowing that Rush Bowls has a proven business model that taps into the $1 trillion health-food industry.
Franchisees also appreciate that Rush Bowls offers extensive mentorship and support from an executive team that has literally opened and operated hundreds of restaurants. Rush Bowls averages $282,000 to $499,000 in initial investment, half of what many fast-casual franchises require—all without the complexities and headaches.
