Founded in 2011 in San Ramon, California, by Roy and Tara Gilad, Vitality Bowls emerged from the couple's quest to find safe, healthy food alternatives for their daughter, who has severe food allergies.
This personal mission evolved into a nationwide franchise, with the company beginning its franchising efforts in 2014. Today, Vitality Bowls is headquartered in Danville, California, and has expanded to over 75 locations across the United States.
Vitality Bowls specializes in açaí bowls, smoothies, fresh juices, salads, wraps, and grain bowls, all crafted with high-quality superfoods. The menu is designed to cater to health-conscious consumers seeking nutritious and delicious options for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or a snack.
A distinctive feature of Vitality Bowls is its commitment to an allergy-friendly environment, with kitchens specifically designed to prevent cross-contact, ensuring safety for customers with food allergies.
Here's what you would need to invest if you were to start this franchise. These costs are provided by the franchisor in the Franchise Disclosure Document.
Vitality Bowls provides comprehensive training to franchisees to ensure the successful operation of their restaurants.
Vitality Bowls provides its franchisees with a designated "Protected Area" to operate their restaurants. This territory is defined based on factors such as population density and demographics of the location.
Once established, the franchisor agrees not to permit other Vitality Bowls franchise locations or company-owned outlets to operate within this Protected Area during the franchise term.
However, the Protected Area does not guarantee exclusivity for all business activities. Vitality Bowls reserves the right to compete within the area through other channels, such as catering or delivery services, provided these do not involve a direct restaurant setup.
