Profitable, Growing ACAI Bowl Restaurant Chain with 2 Owned Locations
Business Description
Rare, virtually turnkey, systemized and innovative business
Offered for sale is the premier destination for health-conscious fare on the beaches of North Carolina. This iconic establishment stands as the pioneer of açaí bowl concepts in its community. The business is built upon a foundation of authentic expertise, profound community integration, and a steadfast dedication to providing fresh, vibrant culinary experiences.
The company enjoys a loyal, high-end following and an iconic, well known brand.
HIGHLIGHTS
Strong & Accelerating Financials True Owner Benefit (which accounts for the elimination of rent as an expense under ownership) has grown from $236,972 in 2023 to $378,008 in 2024 to $499,245 in 2025. Revenue is trending toward $1.5M. SDE, is at $250,000.
First Mover & Brand Authority The restaurants are the original açaí bowl shops in their beach community, a distinction that carries real weight in a market where brand recognition is built on generations of family vacations and word-of-mouth loyalty.
Turnkey Operation Both locations are fully equipped and operational. A new owner inherits everything needed to operate from day one: the brand, the systems, the staff, the vendor relationships, the menu, the online ordering platform, the retail merchandise program, and the real estate. Key staff across both locations are expected to remain with the business under new ownership.
Real Estate Ownership Both locations are included in the sale, which is extremely rare. The buyer will own approximately 2,000 square feet at each address. Both are freestanding properties on the community’s primary commercial bypass. This eliminates rent risk entirely and provides long-term asset appreciation in a market with significant barriers to entry.
Intentional Seasonality The restaurants operate roughly 9 months per year, closing during the winter off-season. This creates a natural lifestyle rhythm for the owner and preserves the team from burnout. The shoulder season opportunity (discussed below) represents meaningful upside for a buyer willing to explore it.
Tenured Vendors & Established Supply Chain The restaurants operate with a tight, reliable network of established food, beverage, and supply vendors.
